Written and performed by iconic New Zealand actor Mark Wright, this one-man play, explores the origins of the ANZAC spirit & it gives a voice to the many faces of Gallipoli.
5 star reviews for this, and reviewers have stated:
"Mark Wright is a war veteran, a lieutenant colonel, an army doctor, a beloved son. Each symbolised by a different piece of headwear, the characters are more than just stories and words, however poignant, they are people."
"You mourn for them, you grieve with them, but in almost the same breath, you smile at them. With a deft hand, Mark balances the sombre stories with humour."
"Mark Wright's deft touch and clever dialogue makes the Gallipoli Monologues a show not to miss."
Come see these poignant and beautifully told stories.
“I want the piece to be engaging and entertaining, but also historical,” creator, Mark Wright said. “It’s putting humanity back into the facts and the figures. When you’ve got someone on-stage, live, speaking as a character as if they’re there, I think it brings it home because people can relate.”
Do not miss out. Doors open at 6pm, theatre production commences at 6.30pm.
