        Wil Greenway is as pleased as punch, perhaps even pleased-er, we're not sure, but either way he's particularly excited to be making his first appearance in the Auckland Fringe Festival. Fresh from successful Adelaide and Melbourne Fringe seasons, Wil is proud to present A Night To Dismember, a low budget/hi fantasy heavyhearted comedy about inadequacy, asteroids, and the shark that ate his arms.

        A Night To Dismember is a miraculous story, beautifully told by a charmingly hairy idiot. It's a sprawling fantasy comedy, replete with lyrical surreal gore, man-eating sharks and talking asteroids. However, the bones of this piece of theatre aren't exclusively comic. Boiled down, A Night To Dismember is a simple story about isolation and self-loathing. The main theme is inadequacy, something young men are all too familiar with but rarely acknowledge. The central character is a young man, bullied and ashamed. The story follows his search, and struggle to find acceptance, to find home, to be whole.

        Wil Greenway is an award winning Melbourne based writer/performer and co-creator of The Lounge Room Confabulators.

        "Sincere and charming, the story of A Night to Dismember is at once poetic, hilarious and strangely moving." ****1/2 - Kryztoff Raw
