        Second Afterlife - 7pm
        By Ralph McCubbin Howell

        Dan has been it all. Himself on Facebook, a slightly more Emo version of himself on Bebo, a vengeful warrior in Warcraft, and a spanish seductress on NZDating - but now he’s ready to unplug. To delete his profiles and wipe the slate clean.

        But the internet isn’t about to let him go without a fight. Deleting a profile requires an epic battle through the Second Afterlife, the dark underworld of the internet - a dangerous landscape of broken memes, deleted pages, and the ghosts of profiles past.

        Director Leon Wadham (School Night, Go Girls) leads an exciting cast in this poetic, ass-kicking comedy for the digital age.

        "An absolute joy to behold. A modern, exciting quest narrative with intriguing, well-developed characters, Second Afterlife will totally absorb you" - Salient

        Starring: Jackson Bliss-McCauley, Katie Longbottom, Ravi Gurunathan, Jarred Blakiston, Jessica Stubbing and Anthony Crum

         

        Uncle Minotaur - 8:30pm

        By Dan Bain

        Greta is an outsider. The other girls bully her, Dad has left home and Mum is life hacking in cyberspace. And when Greta’s eye surgery doesn’t turn out as planned she starts seeing things that aren’t there. She has to make a choice – is she going to let this ride or get brave and wreak some classical Greek carnage?

        Director Katy Maudlin (Giant Teeth, Odyssey) creates a magical world with enormous puppets, live foley and surrealist design blending dreams and reality.

        “Read Classics, kill your monsters.” (Dan Bain)
