Euthermia/Hyperpyrexia Game Day Good News, The Hole Proficiency Test RagefaceEuthermia/Hyperpyrexia
Synopsis:
There is a war. There is a hospital. People are waiting for the wounded soldiers to arrive. They tell stories to keep each other alive. Euthermia/Hyperpyrexia follows the lives of five orderlies who work in a far-flung field hospital. Charlie is the newest recruit to this strange institution. He is welcomed into a bizarre world where all employees are controlled by the voice of a eternally supervising Doctor, where - due to the sun refusing to set - time cannot be measured, and where the wounded soldiers that are to be in the orderlies care will be arriving in "the foreseeable future." Charlie battles to correct his past failures with the help of mentor, and friend, Steph, who struggles to keep her team unified and so prevent the facility descending into complete anarchy. Euthermia/Hyperpyrexia is a dark play about failure, the stories we tell to make shape of our lives, and the gap between our dreams and reality.

Top of PageGood News, The
Synopsis:
The Good News, a show about Bible stories and spontaneous storytelling where every chapter and verse is presented as recalled: muddled, misremembered and massively mixed up. Johnny Crawford (lapsed Catholic) and Adam Goodall (Anglican dropout) wanted to know how well people knew their Bible stories, so they've asked friends, family, strangers and colleagues to retell them: no cues, no corrections, no "ask me laters". Join the Making Friends Collective as three eager young sermonisers present to you chopped and screwed versions of classic tales like the Creation, the Birth of Jesus and the Book of Revelations. This is the Good Book, one mistake at a time. Following in the fine oral tradition of Drunk History and the Nature Theater of Oklahoma, the Making Friends Collective are taking you back to Sunday School with The Good News, a scrappy, hilarious, high-energy look at our relationship with religion and the stories we use to define ourselves.

Synopsis:
Kurt and Jess Morrison are a nice couple with a nice house in a nice neighbourhood. They're also powerless to stop their suburban idyll from being invaded by the abrasive, aggressive Constable Hape, a police officer looking for something and refusing to explain herself. But Constable Hape isn't the only one with secrets. . .and this house isn't one for keeping secrets quiet. Making Friends Collective continue their investigations into the theatrical form and the dark ironies of the everyday with this grim tale of status quos and the darkness they hide, bringing horror to the Wellington theatre audience through collaboration and invention.

Top of PageRageface
Synopsis:
Rageface is an acerbic ensemble comedy about the internet, real life, and one man's struggles with both, playing at the Gryphon theatre as a part of 2013 Wellington Fringe Festival. Jason (Andrew Clarke, Summerfolk) is a guy with a lot on his shoulders. He's an awkward university dropout, working a job he hates and living with a volatile flatmate. then he meets Brie, a girl who works at his favourite video store, and falls for her hard. With no-one willing to help him woo her, Jason turns to the one place he can trust for advice the internet. except, with his position as top dog on the Nothing is Original forums being undermined by a new poster with My Little Pony on his mind, and his threads dogged by a persistent troll, Jason's internet life starts to collapse around him and it might just take his real life with him. Rageface is a black comedy that looks at our relationship with the internet and anonymity and asks what happens when the fronts we put up online start to clash with our lives offline.
