Show info

Family Drama: A Comedy is a fully improvised parody of those big, bruising family plays where the eldest daughter returns home, old wounds reopen over dinner, and someone inevitably screams, “Eat the fish, bitch!”

One dining room, a deeply dysfunctional family and decades of secrets waiting to explode. Every performance is completely made up on the night (and, hopefully, contains no absolutely no incest)

Performed by a rotating cast of some of Auckland’s finest improvisers from Bullrush, Snort and Heartthrobs.
