Best on Tap presents:
The F Word
Sex without the 'ism'
Okay, so the sexes are equal in the eyes of the law. What the F happens now?
BATS will host the premiere season of The F Word – a sometimes funny, occasionally serious, but always-authentic exploration into what FEMINISM means in modern day New
Zealand.
The world isn’t perfect - wage equality is a serious issue, the threat or innuendo of sexual assault is a constant bogey
man, and gender stereotypes still influence our lives.
Best on Tap are a collective of four improvisers from Wellington Improv Troupe (WIT) who have begun using improvisation
to semi-script plays. With their skills for improvisation they can follow Shakespeare’s lead and have a script that is
still loose enough to allow for evolution, but with a clearly crafted storyline.
The F Word follows a group of friends over a few years as they discuss feminism at dinner parties and struggle to put these ideals
in place in their day-to-day life. Occasionally this struggle descends into the surreal… In short the show is dealing
with difficult issues that face all liberal-minded, overeducated people face when confronted with messy realities!
STARRING: Nicola Pauling (Voice Arts Trust, WIT, #Divas), Kate Wilson (Return to Sender, WIT, #Divas), Geoff Simmons (Return to
Sender, WIT, Improv Bandits), and Matt Hutton (Secrets, Return to Sender, WIT).
