The scripts for Firing the Canon are all printed and ready to read!

We’re on at Basement Theatre all week!

The third play being read in Firing the Canon Rēwena by Whiti Hereaka, directed by Cian Parker on Thursday July 10.

Maggie, the proprietress at the local gastro pub, The Thymus of the Lambs, is holding a class in Rewena making on the night of the final of popular reality TV series A Baker’s Dozen. Rumour has it that the local boy finalist, Neill, was taught to cook by Maggie in this very kitchen; but Maggie’s not one to gossip.

Whiti Hereaka is an award-winning playwright and novelist, winning the most prestigious award for playwriting in New Zealand (the Bruce Mason Playwriting Award) and for fiction (the Ockham Prize for Fiction for Kurangaituku). Rēwena premiered at Centrepoint Theatre in 2013 to rave reviews.

This series is produced by Smoke Labours Productions.

All playreadings in the Firing the Canon series are free, presented by arrangement with Playmarket NZ and proudly supported by Auckland Council and the City Centre Targeted Rate.
