Two women wash up on a distant shore following a violent boating accident. Dazed by their experience, they look for a path home. But they discover that this unfamiliar land is not what it seems – and that, though they may be together, they have never been further apart.
Unflinchingly honest and tenderly lyrical, Meet Me at Dawn is a modern fable exploring the triumph of everyday love, the mystery of grief, and the temptation to become lost in a fantasy future that will never be.

Audience warnings:
Contains mature and deep emotional content.
A performance revue like you'll never get in an office tower! This cheeky number takes on the ridiculous and objectionable in the modern workplace in the form of the blues, rap, latin plainchant and more to see what meets expectations and what needs improvement.
Les and Fleur are a middle-aged couple at the end of their tether. Francis and Connie are newly-weds terrified of getting it on. They’ve double booked a romantic getaway at a kiwi bach in the middle of nowhere, but we’re not sure which is raging harder - the storm outside, or the hormones inside!
Fierce, feminist, and funny. Hysterical challenges the myth that women are too emotional with poetry that confronts body politics, sexism, and weeping in the supermarket.
