Young and Hungry Festival of New Theatre

Overview

Young and Hungry is an annual festival of theatre written and performed by New Zealand's youngest and freshest talents. The festival is marking its 20th year with three plays about life and death in a cyber era, rewriting the past and mythological hallucinations.

Second Afterlife (written by Ralph McCubbin Howell) is an allegorical play inspired by Dante's Inferno about the dangerous underworld of the internet - a landscape of broken memes, deleted pages, and the ghosts of profiles past; Our Parents' Children (written by Alex Lodge) is a Frankensteinian gothic fairytale about undoing the past; and Uncle Minotaur (written by Dan Bain) is about a young girl who sees things that no one else does, including some Greek apparitions.

The festival will be running from July 18 until August 2 at the Bats Out of Site.
