Just a quick update on what’s going down in Fringe Fest­iv­al Land over the next couple of days…

If theatre’s your thing, try Ori­gin 7 down at Frank Kit­t’s amphi­theatre. “Two people, a man and a woman. Both in pur­suit of child­hood dreams of becom­ing astro­nauts awake to find them­selves stran­ded on an unknown plan­et. They have nev­er met before … Togeth­er they face the ulti­mate bur­den of for­ging cre­ation.”

Box (see earli­er post) con­tin­ues its extra­vag­ant run down at the White Room, but if you’ve done that and need yet more ener­get­ic per­fo­mances, try some of the dance shows being put on: Snap­shot and Per­for­um both prom­ise to be excel­lent shows.

We’ve seen Francesca Mount­fort per­form­ing her spooky cello pieces before, so we can highly recom­mend you get along to her show – Nervous Doll Dan­cing – on Fri­day night at Happy.

And on Sat­urday there’s ‘Gor­geous’ in Man­ners Mall at noon: a fest­iv­al fea­tur­ing “dra­mat­ic drag queens, lovely les­bi­ans, ter­rif­ic tran­nies, and gay gems”. Show­cas­ing the best gay-friendly tal­ent in Aotearoa, stalls and street per­formers. Every­one, obvi­ously, is wel­come. And dress-ups are encour­aged.

We’ve no doubt missed many worthy events – you can see the full pro­gramme on the Fringe site.
