Can't get enough of BATS
It’s been an awesome week at BATS. Two knock out hit International shows, killer rave reviews and some of the hottest
and happening talents of Wellington all under one roof. The audience just can’t get enough of Mr Marmalade and The Little Tragedies.
“..A pithy, sugary treat that is sure to excite your theatrical tastebuds...” Thomas La Hood (theatreview) And excite your tastebuds it will. Mr Marmalade is so sweet it will leave you with a high. Check out the review here.
Showing til this Saturday is The Little Tragedies, “A startling production that is modern, lyrical, and timeless” Laurie Atkinson (The Dominion Post). The epic Russian tale gets a modern interpretation and as the reviewer put it. “Anyone who appreciates a well-told
tale should see it…. That’s all of yas !”
Conversation tonight is with Paul McLaughlin. Read below for more details. The Woolshed Sessions is booking out so quickly that we have added an extra Sunday night show on Sunday 12 October 7pm.
Feeling inspired? Are those creative juices over flowing? looking for a date to work towards? Fringe Applications are
