Comedy . Tragedy . Suspense . Romance

You might find all of these genres in this sixth season of the Ellerslie Festival of One Act Plays. Six plays, including two premieres, and six directors covering six stories ranging from battery hens to retirement dreams. Set in cabaret style seating, the festival is a more relaxed way of seeing the plays and is suitable for group bookings. Three plays are being performed at each show so book for two shows to see all plays.

Bonus Quiz Night on Tuesday 29 August. Team up with friends, family or colleagues and book a table for eight or join another table for a night of fun and to test your general knowledge, oh, and to see three one act plays.  Simply book your tickets for this show for a fun packed evening.
