This Is No Silent Night…

This Is No Silent Night…

BATS Theatre Presents . . .
CHRIST ALMIGHTY!


A promiscuous angel, a schizophrenic Wiseman, an evil King Herod, a desperate donkey and some virgin who claims she's been knocked up by God. These are the Nativity Story characters...sans tea towels on their heads and school halls. This is no silent night - it’s Christ Almighty!, playing BATS Theatre from December 2nd.

This epic end-of-year event is packed full of in-your-face seasonal merriment with a deliciously ironic voice that is uniquely New Zealand; eight outrageous monologues from the characters of the “greatest story ever told” as you've never seen them before!

Penned by local comic talents Natalie Medlock and Dan Musgrove (Blinkers and Spurs, A Song for the Ugly Kids, The Giant Face), over 30 performers bring the eight monologues to life, and with no prior notice who will be involved each night, each show will leave audiences wondering which performer will hit the stage next.

You won't know until you show!

“the Nativity story is transformed into a kind of X-rated version of The Life of Brian, and, as in the Monty Python classic, the frivolity is peppered with some ironic reflections on religious experience.” – NZ Herald

This fundraising celestial celebration for BATS Theatre is directed by the award winning Sophie Roberts and will see mother and daughter team Ginnette McDonald and Kate McGill join forces with father and daughter duo Peter and Sophie Hambleton along with a stellar team of familiar faces and sparkling newcomers. It also marks an important collaboration between BATS and Auckland’s Basement Theatre.

This is gonna be epic.
Hallelujah!
