Last and probably least… these guys again??? Ian Sheff and Morgan Reid have been in the game since the beginning. But are they the heroes Pōneke needs or have they fallen too far from grace…

🎙️🎙️🎙️
“Incase you didn’t know, I’m the Detective in the building
Ko Morgan tōku ingoa
Who the hell do you think you are?”

“Private Detective Ian Sheff
Keeping the crime in check
These grimey hands seeking suspects
Have you seen enough yet?”
🎤🎤🎤

Come through to see us at Kia Mau Festival, opening TONIGHT! 🔥🔥🔥

For week 2 of the Kia Mau festival, lets welcome: Flames: A Hiphop Musical 🎼🕵️‍♂️🔥

Private detectives Morgan Reid and Ian Sheff attempt to solve a series of arsons across Wellington city. Their inability to cooperate forces the two to rely on outside help, unintentionally constructing a band of misfits.

Innovative in its fusion of theatre, musical theatre and hip-hop music presented through a detective drama with Aotearoa flavour, Flames is a one-of-a-kind show by Te Kura o Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School graduates Roy Iro and Reon Bell, that celebrates the whakapapa of Hip-Hop culture in Aotearoa.
