YOULTIDE
Stage Whisper Productions
Our narrator is trying to change the ending.
Misery keeps interrupting.
A lasagne is on the table.
Come to dinner! It’s Christmas Eve, and the story starts again.
Douglas has a tale he can’t get right. The tree’s up, the lights are dying, and Christmas Eve isn’t playing along. He needs an audience to listen to his story. Would you come give him some notes? He has to get it right this time. It’s almost Christmas, after all.
Youltide transforms the Dome at BATS into a living room on Christmas Eve, where memory tangles with love and the stories we tell to survive. It’s funny until it isn’t. Warm until it’s not. Maybe that’s the point.
Created as part of Te Herenga Waka’s Six Degrees Festival, written by emerging playwright Teddy O’Neill, directed by Joshua Lees and stage managed by Will McMorran, Youltide is an absurdly tragic show for anyone who’s ever loved, lost, or needs a bit of spirit on Christmas.
