Going West Theatre Season - Raising the Titanics
Going West Books and Writers Festival Theatre Season
Raising the Titanics
What really sunk The Titanics? Somewhere beneath the oceans of music, mirth and memory lies the truth. Following its sell-out 2010 debut season, Smackbang Theatre Company proudly brings Raising the Titanics to the Going West Books and Writers Festival 2011
Join us to enjoy a night of magical musical theatre that journeys from the present day, back to the golden age of the show-band era to reveal what really sunk the Titanics, who were perhaps the greatest Maori show band that ever existed.
Written by award-winning playwright Albert Belz and starring, among others, Tama Waipara Faye Smythe, Lana Garland and Wesley Dowdell.
