A play by Thomas Sainsbury

Performed by Glen Pickering, Beth Allen,
Todd Emerson, Nisha Madhan, Christabel Smith

December 12th - 15th
8pm $10 (door sales only)

“What’s going on? Where are all the men?”
“It’s too hard to explain.”

The Feminine, a speculative drama, is the story of a new world order.
When Adam Cooper, an English Teacher at a prestigious girl’s school, is diagnosed with testicular cancer he thinks his life is over. A new treatment, however, gives him hope and he willingly undergoes it. But there are complications.

In fifteen years he wakes from a coma.
In fifteen years the world has changed dramatically.
In fifteen years Adam’s masculinity will have him hiding for his life.

The Feminine will be performed by Glen Pickering (Based on Auckland, ‘Tis Pity she’s a whore), Nisha Madhan (Shortland Street, Shakespeare UnBarred), Beth Allen (Outrageous Fortune, The Tribe), Todd Emerson (The World’s fastest Indian, Amazing Extraordinary Friends) and Christabel Smith (Caustic, OSS The Merchant of Venice).

Just finished off the artwork for the new posters!

When you come and see the play (and I know you will), you should buy a program, the cool thing is they open out to an awesome poster for you to put up at home/work/school/library/gallery/museum.

Whatever you do, don’t miss the fabulous Lantern Festival. Closing tomorrow evening with, as usual, fireworks brought to you by Wah Lee.

Happy year of the Fire Pig! Not too sure what this means for a Fire Snake 蛇 like me.
