Wheeler's Luck at Te Auaha
WHEELER’S LUCK at TE Auaha
“What's Wheeler's Luck?”
“It's a saying we've got round here mate. Means the good
with the bad.”
Te Auaha stage and
screen students invite you to join them in their rough,
chaotic and hilarious take on Wheeler's Luck, one of the
country's most notorious
plays.
Meet the locals of
Bell End, a Kiwi beach town facing a big problem. An
untimely demise opens the door for some drastic changes in
this little corner of the world. When a property developer
rolls into town it signals the possible end to the annual
Bareback Festival, and the customary ready access to
explosives. A divided community begins to ask questions.
Where will all the Tarkahays live? What the heck's a
Tarkahay?
Wheeler’s Luck is a wonderfully funny portrayal of a typical Kiwi town and the colourful people that inhabit it. This story has it all; raging storms, environmental messages, bad dancing, high speed horse chases and gun toting felines. Wheeler's Luck is a heartfelt, playful comedy that recognises the kiwi in us all, we hope to see you there!
Brought to you by the first year
students of the Whitireia Stage and Screen programme
delivered at Te Auaha.
