TAXI!!!

It has arrived...the Fringe is upon us! Check out our list of shows here.

For a laugh-filled hour of hilarious solo performances, our first Fringe show will hit the spot! The Man, The Pie and The Taxi Guy opens Tue 5 February.

Project Exiles: The return of a man called Ulysses, the theatrical quest blending Ancient Greek legend and contemporary immigrant experiences will open Fri 8 February.

And for some BabyshadS goodness, check out their blackest comedy yet - And They Did. opening Sat 9 February.

So you better warm up at The Pit Bar with their great Fringe deals...just $5 for any beer from the Tuatara range! [Correction: The Pit Bar deals for $5 Tuatara beer are for Fringe Addict Card Holders ONLY. Non-card holders will be charged the usual $6 per bottle (and $6.50 for Ardennes). Sorry for the inconvenience - but an added incentive to buy your Fringe Addict Card!]

Fringe Addict Cards are available at the BATS Theatre Box Office now! For a mere $15, you will be able to get yourself some great deals around town, plus tickets to any BATS Fringe shows will be just $10.

_Project Exiles: The return of a man called Ulysses
Season: Fri 8 - Mon 11 February
Tickets: $15 full / $12 concession / $10 Fringe Addicts
Written and directed by Jaime Dörner

Like Ulysses on his Odyssey, like his son who searches for him, immigrants to NZ are sailors in a quest, searching, looking to belong, to fit in, looking for their real self.
Ulysses decides to go home, but home is not the same anymore. "People are not a frozen image in a photograph..."
"...intense, multi-layered...an absorbing hour from six totally committed actors, and a startling piece of performance writing." - The Guardian
