      25 August 2022 to 3 September 2022
      Stables Theatre, 138 Main Highway, Ellerslie, Auckland

      Touched . Teasing . Tainted
      You might find all these themes in this eighth season of the Ellerslie One Act Play Festival. This biennial festival, slightly distorted by a pandemic, has become a highly coveted event for playwrights to submit original works and as a mentoring event for new directors. Four plays have been selected from a number of submissions and all will be performed each night. 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 perfect for group bookings. 

      25 August to 3 September 2022 at 8pm
      Matinees Saturday 27 August and Saturday 3 September at 2pm
      No performances Sunday 28 or Monday 29 August
