        You might find all these genres in this seventh season of the Ellerslie One Act Play Festival. This biennial festival has become a highly coveted event for playwrights to submit original works and as a mentoring event for new directors. Six plays, including five premieres, have been selected from a number of submissions with three plays being performed at each show. The one-acts contain multiple themes, each accomplishing its own story with efficient use of dialogue and technical elements. Set in cabaret style seating, the festival is a more relaxed way of seeing the plays and is suitable for group bookings. Book for two shows to see all plays.

        Bonus Quiz Night on Tuesday 27 and Wednesday 28 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.
