Theatre Royal Nelson, 78 Rutherford Street, Nelson 7010
Attention: Multiple new occurrences confirmed. Healthy citizens report to safehouses by sunset. A lycanthropy outbreak has begun. A seven-day lockdown is declared over an emergency broadcast, and you have been summoned to the local shelter, where three ill-equipped wardens keep watch over a makeshift community that must learn to work together. But as the threat outside takes shape, the atmosphere inside begins to turn. Inspired by the classic game of deception, Werewolf is a gripping blend of thriller and comedy that pulls you into an immersive world of suspicion, survival, and uneasy laughter. With heart-pounding sound design, razor-sharp performances, and a daring, darkly funny style, this international cult hit asks: When night falls—who do you trust? —- First presented as part of Lōemis Festival, Wellington NZ. Development of the show was supported by BATS Theatre and with funding from Creative New Zealand and the Wellington City Council.
