The trailer for 'Back to Square One?' by Anders Falstie-JensenA production by The Rebel Alliance

22/04/2023

“Today the play is in part a fascinating snapshot of an extraordinary moment in time but more importantly it is a reminder of the fact that whether we like it our not, we are all connected in ways that we may not always fully appreciate or comprehend.”

Award-winning theatre company, The Rebel Alliance, will debut in Palmerston North this month.

20/04/2023

Despite having no business plan, no regular funding and no strategic plan whatsoever, The Rebel Alliance has dodged and weaved its way across New Zealand’s theatrical landscape for the last 16 years. Often solidly planted in real life, the plays presented by The Rebel Alliance prove that truth often surpasses fiction.
‘Back to Square One?’ is a snapshot of an extraordinary time in our history that we probably still haven’t quite fully comprehended.
“Powerful and personal. Necessary viewing for the times we’re in” – artmurmurs.
Come be a part of it!

“Back to Square One? is based on conversations I had with my 95 year old grandmother in Denmark in 2020 while she was isolating in her apartment as well as interviews I did with my neighbours during that time too.
I made the show for my neighbours as a way to bring us all together after the lockdowns. The first outing was in my driveway where it was performed by none other than Alison Bruce!
It was made to be ultra flexible so perform it both indoors and outdoors. The setting doesn’t really matter. The opportunity to gather does.”
-Anders Falstie-Jensen, writer and performer

The Book Addict is a story of journeys, transformations and the way books deepen and contextualise life - its joys and rebellions, griefs and discoveries. Annie takes the audience on an intimate, around the world journey through time and place, from her New Zealand childhood, finding a second home in Greece, to a whirlwind career, with some surprising adventures along the way.
Dont miss this great show coming this week!

Are you wondering what the book addict is all about? check out this article from Stuff!

In The Book Addict, Annie Ruth reveals stories from her adventurous life that has taken her around the world.

06/03/2023

The Book Addict has been performed in a theatre, a pub and people’s homes, needing only an audience and the storyteller to create this intimate event. Annie sips a cocktail as she perches on a bar stool amid a myriad of books. Her hope is, that in telling her stories, audiences will see echoes of their own. The Greek poet, Pindar, writes: ‘Become who you are, having learned what that is’. The Book Addict is one woman’s struggle to figure that out.
