Before Karma Gets Us – Q Theatre: A Mulled Whine Production, 20-24 February
BEFORE KARMA GETS US is what this is called. But what the hell “it” is I’m really still struggling to say. It was mime, it was magic, it was artifice. It was art. My partner reckons she has never laughed so hard. So if it’s anything at all, it’s a success.
Meet Me at Dawn, by Zinnie Harris, directed by Kacie Stetson, Q Theatre 20-24 February
MEET ME AT DAWN messes with your mind. In a good way. It aims to cover a lot ground in its 65 minutes, and almost succeeds.
Amanda Palmer – Q Theatre: January 24, 2024
Amanda Palmer played Q Theatre in Auckland – a catharsis of songs from a variety of times, energies and places – though centrically revolving around the singer-songwriters 2.5 year stint locked down in New Zealand during the global pandemic.
WAITING – Q THEATRE: 26-30 September (Theatre Review)
WAITING is a very personal solo show at Q Theatre, written and performed by actor and poet Shadon Meredith. It’s a one-hander, but it’s not a simple monologue.

ÉMILIE – Directed By Sophie Lindsay: Q Theatre, 19-23 September
ÉMILIE is an ambitious music-drama telling the tale, or trying to, of the woman who brought Isaac Newton’s Latin prose to the people, and so first popularised –and extended – his ground-breaking scientific achievements.
Boom Shankar – Q Theatre Loft. Sept 6, 2023 Directed by Ahi Karunaharan.
Boom Shankar is billed as “an explosive comedy about life, love, and bomb defusal.” But our bomb is just a plot device (ahem) to get the jokes going — and too many of them fail to go off.
Jenny Mitchell and The Mitchell Twins – Q Theatre Loft: July 13, 2023
Jenny Mitchell, Maegan Mitchell, Nicola Mitchell, tonight’s show is a family affair, a consequence of the melding of cultures: Gaelic, Maori Whapapa, an adoption of Americana, and is a product of the Aotearoa/New Zealand’s deep south, Gore, Aotearoa’s home of the annual Country Music Festival, and the Annual Awards Events (Country Music Honours).
Thom Monckton: The Artist & The King of Taking – Q Theatre: Review
Thom Monckton performs two delightful acrobatic comedy clown shows at Auckland’s Q Theatre, which are masterclasses in the art of minimalist comedy theatre.
The First Prime Time Asian Sitcom – Q Theatre, Nov. 6, 2022
The First Prime Time Asian Sitcom is a bold attempt to break through culture barriers and racial stereotypes by gestating like an Alien in the body of comfort food television sitcoms.
