Every dollar counts when running TheatreFest, so a big THANKYOU to The Little Taphouse, Merivale for their sponsorship. Its a great little pub in St Albans Street - and dog friendly too!

Well done to this team from Christchurch.

NZ cast with NZ Ambassador after our show in Antwerp. We really brought the house down. New theatre at its best, with narrative, design, sound and magnificently set movement by director Blaise Barham and team. Again TNZ sets the world alight with brilliant feedback.

Opening next week

The year is 1854 and within the walls of the criminal wing of Bethlem Hospital for the Insane a bitter struggle is playing out. At its heart, ‘Talk’ is a story about stories. In a setting where straps and buckles are seen not as callous, necessary evils but rather as a kindness it is clear that the humanity of Bethlem’s patients has been stripped away. ‘Talk’ rehumanises and gives life to those at the centre of years of beleaguered psychiatric discussion and debate. The writing does not allow itself to rage or sermonise. In earnestly telling its story it opens itself up to the audience and focuses attention on areas in life – trauma, loss, loneliness – where a degree of suffering can perhaps be lifted, even just slightly, if we feel we can talk. ~ Ethan Taylor / New Venture Theatre 2020
