Silo Theatre Presents Nina Raine's Comedy TRIBES this June
Billy's fiercely idiosyncratic, un-PC family are their own tiny empire. They have their own private language, jokes and rules. You can be as rude as you like, as possessive as you like and as critical as you like. After all, arguments are an expression of love, aren't they?
Born deaf, Billy's adapted exceptionally to his hearing family's conventionally unconventional ways, but they've never bothered to return the favour. It's not until he meets Sylvia that he finally understands what it means to be understood; but is anybody else listening?
Written by Nina Raine, directed by Shane Bosher and starring Jodie Hillock, Michael Hurst, Emmett Skilton, Fern Sutherland, Leon Wadham and Catherine Wilkin.
Opens 7 June and plays through to 30 June 2012 at The Maidment Theatre, Auckland, tickets from $25. To buy tickets and for more information, including Sign Language Interpreted performances click here.
