PAY WHAT YOU WANT TO WITNESS THE THEATRE OF HOPE
House of Hudson & TAPAC
presents
A THOUSAND HILLS
By Mike
Hudson. Based on the true-life experiences of Francois
Byamana and Bob Askew.
Directed by Margaret-Mary
Hollins.
Coming off a sensational season at TAPAC, with its closing weekend eliciting a full house and a standing ovation, the A Thousand Hills team prepare themselves to end the year with a series of koha entry event shows at Mangere Arts Centre from the 21st of November.
“We feel that
this uplifting production, which shows how resolute
determination in the face of sheer adversity, should be
something that is affordable and accessible for all
audiences” says director Margaret-Mary
Hollins.
With audiences in the CBD
championing the work, including overwhelmingly positive
feedback (“A Thousand Hills is the most moving play
I’ve ever seen” in one instance) and a limited
season in South Auckland, audiences from across the
Super-City have one more chance to be enchanted with a
theatrical work unlike any other.
“There are great
plays about important issues that take you by the shoulders
and shake you until you pay attention. And then there are
plays like A Thousand Hills,
which sink into you and grab you from within after seeing
them”
– The Lumiere Reader,
2013
“Go feel the beat of the drum and be absorbed into a compelling story, well told and well acted.” –Theatreview – 2013
“‘A Thousand Hills
is an extraordinary theatrical experience –
not to be missed!”
