True Stories Told Live: Altered States

Overview

When an event is an annual sellout, there is very little doubt that it will be nothing short of inspirational. As part of the Auckland Writers Festival, the New Zealand Listener presents this year's gala night; True Stories Told Live: Altered States.

A mixed bag of eight writers, including Tusiata Avi, Joe Bennett and Vivian Gornick, will take to the stage and present seven minutes of gold inspired by the theme Altered States. There'll be no scripts and no props, just the writer on stage and only their words to save them. When you get together a trade lawyer, politician, former revolutionary and raconteur, who knows where the night will take you. Tickets are still available, but get in quick to avoid disappointment.
