Locomotive and Guests
Immediate theatre, responding to the world as it is on the night you see it.
In One Act/Play, four performers bring together over 100 years of combined experience to create a very special improvised play for you, right now. No script, no planning, one show, once only.
Created by Locomotive and performed by Christine Brooks (the bold one), Matt Powell (the story one), and featuring special festival guests!
Locomotive comprises Matt Powell, Christine Brooks, Clare Kerrison (called away on important business), and Jennifer O'Sullivan (on maternity leave for this NZIF). One Act/Play is a showcase for the kind of improvised theatre they love to teach and watch. All four of them have been involved with NZIF over many years in almost any capacity you can name.
“The actors make it look easy. Perhaps this is precisely because it is unrehearsed and new, and that, after all, is how life plays out.”
“This is an authentic theatrical experience that will reward anyone who’s sick of the glib predictability of pre-packaged television, wants to disconnect from the barrage of news and social media and watch real human beings at work demonstrating excellence in a difficult craft, or who wants to learn more about storytelling.”
