Coming Right Up...

THE ENGINE ROOM

by Ralph McCubbin-Howell

Tuesday 27th September - Saturday 8th October @ 8pm

$18 / $13 / $14 Groups 6+

The whole world is watching...

In 1981 the South African rugby team toured New Zealand, and our
country was plunged into chaos. What was John Key doing during
these fateful months? And where was Aunty Helen?

A partly factual, mostly fictional account of two seminal moments
in New Zealand's history using an explosive combination of
storytelling techniques.

A dynamic new play featuring Erin Banks, Paul Harrop, Alex Greig
and Harriet Cowan.
