Downton Adlib

We all know the world of “Downton Abbey” – but have you ever wondered what was going on in the rest of the great houses of England at that time?

We bring you an evening with another, less well-known aristocratic family and their servants as they face the challenges of life in the early twentieth century. A cast of Wellington’s top improv comedians face the challenge of making up a brand new show on the spot. We supply the characters, you - the audience - provide the key plot ingredients and the result is costume drama as you’ve never seen it before.

Love, laughter, secrets and a wide range of hats!

Like “Downton Abbey” - only funnier!

Wellington’s The Improvisors, one of New Zealand’s longest-running improvisation troupes, finally makes it to the Wairarapa. This is comedy the way you want it.
