Nightsong head to Circa Theatre
After premiering in Auckland, Nightsong (Te Pō, Mr Red Light) are now at Circa Theatre until 30 September with I Want To Be Happy!
Binka is a guinea pig in a laboratory cage. Paul is the lab assistant who looks after her. Both just want to be happy again.
Humour and pathos collide in this blackly funny odyssey starring acting greats Jennifer Ludlam (as the guinea pig) and Joel Tobeck (as the lab technician).
“one of the most delightfully delicious pieces of theatre I have seen this year” – New Zealand Arts Review
On until 30 September, Circa One
Tues – Thurs 6.30pm, Fri – Sat 8pm, Sun 4pm

So we want to hear what you think:

59.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
