This month we’re pretty stoked to have The Basement hosting CreativeMornings. As the home of Auckland’s most adventurous emerging artists, The Basement collaborates with an artistic mixtape of theatre makers, dancers, visual artists, poets, musicians, comedians and everyone in between. It’s an affordable independent venue for local talent and fresh work, and most importantly, a safe place to be experimental, brave and innovative.

The Basement is the place to be entertained, discovered and inspired! As Metro Magazine noted, it’s “The most eclectic, exciting cultural venue in town.”

Right now we’re in the middle of The Basement’s Summer Season 2014, and there’s a few “killer” shows we think are worth getting along to…

Slapdash Assassin
25 Feb-8 Mar, 8pm, $25

A comedy as “black as a pint of Guinness” starring Jeremy Elwood (TV’s 7 Days) that tackles some of the issues facing modern-day Ireland under the guise of a family drama. With writing in the vein of ‘Boondock Saints’ and ‘In Bruges’ - no subject is taboo!

Mo & Jess Kill Susie
25 Feb - 8 Mar, 6.30pm, $22

A volatile, psychological hostage thriller by award-winning playwright Gary Henderson, directed by Matt Baker and starring Jess Sayer, Darlene Mohekey and Sheena Irving. Mo and Jess Kill Susie is compelling, pulse-racing storytelling: Reservoir Dogs meets Waiting for Godot.

Because they’re cool like that The Basement are offering our mates (you guys) a sweet deal for Mo & Jess Kill Susie. Enter ‘CMakl’ when you book online to get tickets for $16 (instead of $22).
