Fringe Award-winning Wellington company Making Friends Collective (Proficiency Test, The Good News) invites you behind the curtain of a sport with no rackets, no balls and no physical activity, a sport where the only points being scored are ideological: university debating. Knifed joins six debaters as they dive into a weekend of arguments, insults and endless drinking games. But they’ve all got their eyes on the Grand Final – and they’ll do whatever it takes to get there. Written by Playmarket Playwrights b4 25 nominee Adam Goodall (Deadlines, Rageface), Knifed is a chaotic, caustic rollercoaster through an under-observed community that’s dramatic, ferocious and a breeding ground for New Zealand's political class.

Making Friends Collective formed in 2012 and have since produced eight shows, including Rageface (nominated for Best Newcomers at NZ Fringe 2013), Proficiency Test (nominated for Most Innovative and winner of the Golden Nugget at NZ Fringe 2013) and The Good News (“thoughtful and fun” – Jarrod Baker, Word on the Street). We want to push the limits of our language, creating theatre that’s exciting, alive, honest and raw. We want to hold society up to the microscope, joining bold makers and bolder audiences to interrogate what thrills us, angers us, and makes us who we are.
