The next generation of contemporary NZ actors take to the stage in 2009 in The Ensemble Project, building on the hugely successful AK07 incarnation that played to critical acclaim and capacity houses. Eight actors will be put through their paces by celebrated Auckland directors Michael Hurst and Oliver Driver, creating two works that will then be performed in repertory during the Festival.
Oliver Driver will direct the devised work Back Story, a celebration of Auckland as an urban metropolis where differing cultures and communities live in a proximity that is sometimes too close for comfort.
We have one pair of tickets to the Wednesday 18 March performance of Back Story to give away to one lucky winner. To be in to win, tell us what you find to be "too close for comfort". Please enter your answers into the Comments section of the event page, and we'll pick the most extraordinary answer to win.
