Newtown is in Trouble! - Wellington Fringe Festival

4th February 2011

Who is going to save it?

Big Trouble in Small Newtown, 25th February – 1st March, 8:00 PM BATS Theatre

Once upon a time on a planet far far away there was a small town that went by the name of Newtown. There two girls with nothing in common go about their days - from Mr Bun, to WINZ and back again. On one not so special night the unlikely duo are returning home after both dropping off a CV at Planet Spice...When all of a sudden a giant ball of light hurtles towards them, stopping them in their tracks...both are transfixed by the object ... it lands and explodes right in front of them, they grab each other and hold each other tight as they hear the 'prophecy' of who they really are and their destiny...‘the fate of Newtown is in your hands...and your hands alone.’

The pair wake the next morning assuming it was a dream...but something feels a bit strange...this is the part when they discover their superhuman abilities...DUN DUN DUN

The pair don’t know when, and don’t know how but they will have to destroy ‘The Wang’ and his army of aliens...but until then...it’s time to get an outfit, get a lair and clean up the streets of Newtown...with their ‘so-called’ superpowers.

Big Trouble in Small Newtown is the brand new show devised by recent Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School Graduates Jennifer Martin and Bianca Seinafo with the outside eye direction of recent Chapman Tripp Award Winning Actress Sophie Hambleton

Jennifer has recently played Mum in the recent Toi Whakaari Graduation show Wild Cabbage directed by Leo Gene Peters. After Graduating Jennifer played the ‘Three Wisemen’ in Christ Almighty to help raise money for BATS theatre. This year Jennifer will be extending her solo show ‘Ivylution’ with Capital E, and touring with another one of their productions ‘Songs of the Sea’.

Forget Batman, forget Spider-man...meet Miss Martian and Skankanca....BOOM...now the adventure begins. This is not the end...only the beginning.
