Bard Day's Night
The Basement Theatre, May 21 - 26

Fresh from its premiere season at the International Festival comes Bard Day's Night, Auckland's first sneak-peek at acclaimed actor Michael Hurst's debut solo outing.
Created in collaboration with popular comedy writers Natalie Medlock and Dan Musgrove (Christ Almighty!, Toys, The Giant Face and Dan Is Dead / I Am A Yeti), Bard Day's Night is a hilarious romp through one actor's battle with his own mortality and the voices inside his head...who happen to be some of Shakespeare's most famous characters.
Hurst's extraordinary skill as New Zealand's premiere performer of Shakespeare is showcased alongside the quick wit of Medlock and Musgrove, to dazzling effect.
This is a strictly limited, one-week season at The Basement Theatre. Don't miss out! Tickets at iticket.co.nz.
