FUEL 2008: Festival of New Zealand Theatre
Performance GORETTI CHADWICK, PUA MAGASIVA, ROBBIE MAGASIVA, ANAPELA POLATAIVAO, JOY VAELE
Samoa is independent. Charlie's Angels has arrived in the fale. And Alofa's life will never be the same again.
Alofa, Lili and Moa are typical teenage girls. They tease the local boys, misbehave at school and worship Charlie's Ange...ls. But there is a darker side to Alofa's life; she struggles to win the acceptance of her unforgiving family. As Alofa navigates the mores and restrictions of village life, she begins to come to terms with her own changing identity and the price she must pay for it.
Where we Once Belonged was jointly commissioned by New Zealand International Arts Festival and Auckland Theatre Company.

DO YOU SPEAK ENGLISH? BY GARY LANGFORD
Using only English this short play convinces us that Gina - fresh from Italy – and Mark are mutually unintelligible. A playful exercise in non-verbal (mis)understan...dings.
BANGING CYMBAL, CLANGING GONG BY JO RANDERSON
A direct, delicate, funny tale of resistance and forbearance in a world that anaesthetises us from pain and from the pleasure of letting instinct rule the heart.
THE JOSS ADAMS SHOW BY ALMA DE GROEN
A young mother is bewildered and adrift in postnatal depression; family and the medical profession are no help. Darkly humorous and absurd, this piece shows the way the media encourages the public to see stories like Joss’s as morbidly sensationalised entertainment.
Presented by Carving in Ice.

Written and Directed by JOHN G. DAVIES
This play is dedicated to the memory of Tuaiwa (Eva) Rickard (1925-1997) and those 17 people arrested at the Raglan golf course on the 12th of February 1978.The charge of trespass was subse...quently thrown out of court.
Ka hoki nga whakaaro ki Te Huinga o te Kahurangi
te Murau o te tini, te wenerau o te mano.
Ratou kua Wheturangitia.
Te ihi, te wehi, te mana, te tapu,
nga rangatira onamata, na koutou i toa, na matou.
The contemplative beauty and quiet intensity of Noh is tempered with the grace and vigour of kapa haka in order to tell this story of defiance and compassion. The New Zealand Noh Theatre Co eschew politics and re-enactment to present what the Waikato Times has called 'a reverential incantation.'
Presented by The New Zealand Noh Theatre.

\By DAVID GEARY & JUSTIN GREGORY
Direction GEOFF PINFIELD
Performance CHRISTOPHER BROUGHAM, ALAN BURTON
Mate, it still stinks. Kiwi Col and Aussie Don are brothers, from a family split in two as a result of the most infamous act in sp...orting history – The Underarm. 25 years later, the brothers meet at a Test Match at the Basin Reserve to put on trial the man who ruined their lives – Aussie cricket captain, Greg Chappell, and to ask the eternal question – “Greg, what the $%!* were you thinking!?!”
‘Owzat! It's hard to think of a more riotous comedy. The Underarm rises from an all-time low in trans-Tasman sporting relations. And rise in crescendos of laughter it does.’ Manawatu Standard

By JAN BOLWELL
Performance JAN BOLWELL
Direction RALPH MCALLISTER
Design LISA MAULE
Here’s Hilda! is a highly entertaining, poignant and uplifting show about rural New Zealand life in the twentieth century ...as seen through the eyes of Jan Bolwell’s glorious, outrageous and indomitable grandmother, Hilda Blair Gardiner. Hilda was born on the Taieri Plain in 1896, married a farmer in 1921 and lived in the North Otago district for seventy years. She died in Oamaru in 1991 a month from her 95th birthday.
Bolwell says of her grandmother:
Hilda was a performer in every sense. In her youth as a member of a concert party, she entertained First World War soldiers stationed in training camps around Otago. At the age of thirteen she was the first woman driver on the Taieri, and was notorious throughout her long life for her driving habits. She drove as she lived – in the fast lane!’

Direction KATIE WOLFE
Performance DANIELLE CORMACK
Set Design RACHAEL WALKER
Lighting Design JANE HAKARAIA
In this award-winning solo theatre piece, Danielle Cormack (Skin Tight,... The Blue Room, Shortland Street) explores the world of Katherine Mansfield, one of New Zealand's most celebrated and controversial writers. Using only Mansfield’s own words, the play journeys from her naivety as an eighteen year old to her death at thirty-four. We share her frustration with the parochialism of early New Zealand, the anxiety and elation of her first years in London, and above all, her passion for writing. Sudden anger, self-deprecating humour, an acute eye for irony and the ridiculous, the joy and fear of living - the intimacy is irresistible.
Presented by arrangement with Playmarket NZ, and Silo Theatre.
