Featuring Auckland and Melbourne (including players from all troupes!)
First Half Meet the locals, have a custard square (or a pie) and discover the truth behind the world’s largest kumara. A hilarious journey into the real NZ (well, a fake version of the real NZ). | Second HalfThe Wishing Tree is an improvised format where the audience’s favourite wish could come true. Members of the audience are invited to anonymously write a wish on a piece of paper and hang it on ‘The Wishing Tree’
The cast of improvisers are asked to choose a wish at random from the tree.
Stories unfold and characters are brought to life as the hopes and desires of the wishes are honored, no matter how big or small.
The format is inspired by a Japanese myth:
Once a year (on the night of the show) two stars align. They represent a prince and princess who are in love and are married, but have been separated (though out the year by the milky way).
Once a year they get their wish to be together. It’s a very auspicious day for wishes to come true because the gods are happy the lovers are together.
The gods often wander through the sacred forests and if they find your wish hanging on the tree – it might come true. What makes this show even more awesome is...
....it's truly a show not to be missed! |
