Hot off a stellar run at the New Zealand International Comedy Festival 2023, the Billy T Award winning show, La Soupco, returns to Basement for a limited three-night victory lap.

A screenplay written by Abby Howells when she was eleven years old, La Soupco*, is a nautical romance, set in the wake of World War II. No historical research, verification or corroboration was undertaken.

For the first time ever, La Soupco will be brought to life, onstage, as it was written.

Buckle up for an adventure.

*This name is not relevant in any way, nor does it make any sense. Abby does not know why she named it this.
