Warm Up Your Winter With Some Declarations Of Love!

Tempest Theatre Co is proud to present Declarations of Love (And Other Useless Things).

Back for its five year anniversary, Wellington theatre stalwarts Emma Maguire and Hamish Boyle run the gauntlet of sketch comedy, performing 15+ sketches about love, sex, queerness and rom-coms in 50 minutes at BATS Theatre this 26-30 August.

It's delirious, it'll get your blood pumping (not like that), and maybe we'll all come out of it satisfied.

Think parodies of Fifty Shades of Grey and the manosphere. Interrogating love languages and horoscopes. A lot of ~intimate eye contact~. Maybe some touching. The works.

Co-creator Emma Maguire says of the show, “Declarations was born as a solo show just before the pandemic, and I brought Hamish on board to make it a duo. Five and a half years later, we’re closer than ever, have grown utterly as people, and have entirely rebuilt the show together as true collaborators.”

Declarations’ idiosyncratic humor and fast-paced sketches speak of the duo’s trust and abilities in each other. “I bring the innate understanding of the romance genre, Hamish (Boyle) brings technical skill.” Maguire continues, “Together we’ve built something that’s sexy, snappy, and you’ll hold close to your heart.”

“Take your friends. Take your lovers. This show IS a love story. And it’s totally for everyone.” - Theatreview
