"We think theatre should be serious fun. We make immediate and surprising devised work with young Wellington audiences in mind. Our company believes strongly in collaboration and teamwork, and we are continually exploring the encounter between performer and audience. We want performance that does the things TV and film can't handle."

This Rugged Beauty
A work of epic scale and dizzying majesty. The forecast is for Golden Weather.The Pride. The Passion. The Glory. The Tuatara. This Rugged Beauty is a risky and satirical exploration of the way we 'sell' New Zealand to the world and to ourselves. With Wellington about to be engulfed in manic preparations to host the World Cup and The Hobbit, Binge Culture presents a work which examines what it means be to be branded Kiwi.
With Rachel Baker, Joel Baxendale, Simon Haren, Claire O'Loughlin and Eli Kent. Designed by Kattral Lee, Jessica Sweden, Gareth Hobbs and Andrew Simpson. Dramaturg/publicist: Fiona McNamara. Directed by Ralph Upton. Produced by Rose Guise.
