The following
shows are coming to the Wairarapa as part of the NZ
International Arts Festival 2010.
Masterton Town Hall:
The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy
Step inside an enchanting travelling theatre tent to discover the weird and wonderful world of Cheeseboy. When a freak meteor turns his planet into a bubbling fondue, Cheeseboy embarks on a series of otherworldly adventures in search of his missing parents.
Cheeseboy's whimsical universe is brought to life by the magical storytelling of Stephen Sheehan. Set to the rich and emotive music of Quentin Grant, The Tragical Life of Cheeseboy incorporates exquisite setdesign with puppetry, projection, and ingeniously simple theatricality.

Geoff Dyer
Geoff Dyer has been called a "counter tourist", a "restless polymath" and a prolific slacker. A travel writer, essayist and novelist, Dyer is as at home writing about Anglo-English Attitudes (a collection of essays) as he is writing a novel about an Englishman abroad (Jeff in Venice, Death in Varanasi). Dyer's restless imagination has seen him write about John Berger (Ways of Telling), jazz (But Beautiful), D. H. Lawrence (Out of Sheer Rage), photography (The Ongoing Moment) and travel (Yoga For People Who Can't Be Bothered To Do It). His endlessly witty insights can also be found regularly in the Guardian where he has recently opined on film, John Cheever's journals, Andre Agassi's autobiography and the afterlife. Join him in conversation with David Hedley.
