"This is brilliant. Brilliantly written, magnificently acted, beautifully directed. It's distressingly funny and darkly revealing. It's the real theatrical deal, the whole package." Lynn Freeman: Capital Times. [http://www.theatreview.org.nz/reviews/review.php]

The international hit play from the director of the award-winning Blinkers, Mr Marmalade is a surreal, fantastical exploration on the themes of family, identity and understanding. It is for anyone who has ever been a child, or has ever thought about becoming one again. BOOK NOW [book@bats.co.nz]

The Woolshed Sessions

Season: Thursday 9 October – Saturday 11 October Time: 9.30pm Sunday 12 October 4.00pm and 7.00pm Tickets: $25 full / $20 concession

The Woolshed Sessions was borne when eight Wellington musicians got together in an old woolshed to record some songs. The live show will be an uplifting shindig, marking the release of The Woolshed Sessions album.

Distinguished by lashings of lap-steel guitar, banjo punctuations and lush vocal harmony sing-a-longs, The Woolshed Sessions is a fresh approach for New Zealand songwriting. BOOK NOW [book@bats.co.nz]
