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
