BONES. One man play about the deep stories that shape us and make us who we are.

BONES the telling of stories and eating of scones. A work in progress performance.

 "The most powerful work I have seen in forever" says Margaret O'Hanlon. 

Two shows only, Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 November. 

This work is a co-creation between Māori writer and actor Julian Noel and Director/actor Martine Baanvinger.

Setting: a man telling stories of his mother, where he plays 8 different characters and sings a couple of songs really badly.

The playwright/performer says, "This is a work in progress showing. I will appreciate your feedback and input after the performance over scones and tea.

I am vitally interested in exploring the role of stories in our lives and their impact on how we live. There are both gifts and challenges passed down to us through our ancestors stories and actions. Stories are powerful. Are we wed to inevitable outcomes due to the stories we inherit? Can we break the chains of the past and leave a greater story for our descendants to follow?"

We all live entangled in stories, personal, cultural, national, they inform who we believe ourselves to be. Stories come from many sources ones we inherit, ones we make up.
