The Candidate

08/06/2022

'The Candidate is an exciting new work that takes its audience on a hilarious and unique journey ... Glyde has landed on solid ground with his first script that is packed full of witty one-liners and sharp dialogue, and that holds up a mirror to our culture, refracting back all the broken pieces'

🔥The Candidate is facing political criticism. Come see the show, make up your own mind🔥

Big shout out to Erin O'Flaherty - Performer & Writer for the review. A fellow Auckland creative who does some incredible work in the Theatre space.

This is going to be the most wild election you've ever witnessed. Running for presidency with your best friend sounds like a dream, right?

💬 "My name is Annette and I am the newest presidential candidate to this race. I intend to be, no, I will be a leader of strength, empathy, and decisiveness" 💬

🔥Rehearsals have come to an end.
🔥Tomorrow we pack in to the theatre.
🔥This show cannot be stopped now.

This show is chaotic. This show is absurd. This show is probably gonna win an Oscar, so you should definitely see it
