Stories Told to Me by GirlsMy NZ Music show co-host Julie Hill has her new play - Stories Told to Me by Girls - opening down at Bats tonight.

If you're in Wellington, I highly recommend you head along. I saw Julie's previous play - Turbulent Flux - a couple of years back and it was ace. This looks to be along the same line, with a solo female actor (in this case Jo Smith) recounting various women's true-life stories to a visual and audio multimedia backdrop.

I love the blurb from the Bat's website...

In Stories Told to Me by Girls, Jo Smith (formerly of legendary Wellington theatre company Trouble) shines a ginormous blowtorch on everything you didn’t realise you didn’t need to know about the art of female storytelling.

How could you resist? I'll be popping along to tomorrow's session (Wednesday 11 Jan) if any Welly bloggers want to come along and say g'day.

Season runs Tuesday 10th - Saturday 21st January (with no shows on Sunday or Monday), and starts at 9pm each night. Book at Bats.
