Hobart’s Festival of Improvised Theatre is bringing some of the world’s best improvised shows to the Peacock Theatre.
See the fun and comedy of Theatresports, be moved by the drama of A Long Weekend, choose your favourite adventure with Sink or Swim, learn some new words Shakespeare forgot to write down in Improvised Shakespeare and see where the script takes us in The Holey Book.
Come see the practitioners of the ephemeral arts perform a completely improvised show right in front of your eyes. A ticket will get you a double bill of shows for the evening, which will only ever be seen once by yourself and your fellow audience members.
Come to one night or come to them all, but whatever you do, don’t miss out!
TICKETS
$20 // $15 Concession
Notice: As our shows are unscripted, the performers may use coarse language appropriate within the context of the drama or discuss adult themes.
WORKSHOPS
There are also two workshops on offer as part of the Festival: one for families and one for actors (details below)!
Q&A
Join the cast for a Q&A which will be held directly after the shows on 6 and 8 April.
