28 Days: A Period Piece Benedict Cumberbatch Must Die Mary's Christmas In Dunedin28 Days: A Period Piece
Synopsis:
Discharge Comedy Collective will discuss and celebrate menstruation with its new show, 28 Days: A Period Piece, premiering at BATS Theatre as part of the 2015 NZ Fringe Festival on 19 February. Writer Abby Howells says that although menstruation affects a large proportion of the population, there is still a harmful stigma around it. "Especially amongst young people there is this expectation that you need to be ashamed of your period, that you shouldn't talk about it. We want to talk about it."

Top of PageMary's Christmas In Dunedin
Synopsis:
In this classic road trip story, Joseph and the heavily pregnant Mary travel to Bethlehem for the census. On the way, Mary prepares herself for the toils of mothering a famous child, three wise men struggle to buy baby-appropriate gifts and Joseph learns the truth about childbirth. Mary's story is interspersed with a series of sketches exploring different aspects of Christmas, including family dynamics, seasonal loneliness and a very unconventional Christmas pantomime.
