Suitcase Show is an eclectic box set of short stories, each one told out of a suitcase. Dark, spiky and comic, this is storytelling at its finest from a team of Aotearoa’s greatest creative minds.
The cathartic dark humour behind this new show from absolute geniuses Trick of the Light Theatre (The Bookbinder) springs from the luggage contents of an unnamed traveller, whose suitcases raise the suspicions of an airport customs officer.
If you don’t know the brilliance of Ralph McCubbin Howell and Hannah Smith, Suitcase Show is the perfect introduction: a masterclass in miniature stagecraft, old school tech wizardry and unbelievably good storytelling. Puppetry, shadow play, animation, intrigue, comedy — it’s all there in tiny yet immense spoonfuls of theatrical joy.
$2 per hour to a max of $12 on weekends and a $12 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more.
