The Menagerie
Halloween Special!
We are adding the creepy and the freaky to the world of the curious, intriguing and strangely compelling. The Menagerie is a collection of unique and talented local performers brought together for one night on the last Saturday of every month.
Rachel Rouge produces this a regular variety night based at The Fringe in Wellington. Every show is different and can contain a mix of tap dancers, singers, comedians, spoken word poets, magicians, contortionists, burlesque performers, hula hoopists, acro-balancers, ballerinas, mimes, carnies, ner-do-wells, drag queens/kings, and circus freaks.
Miss Anthropy – Primal burlesque at its bloody best.
Cherry Boomb – Circus sensation & death warmed up
Samuel S Snakeeyes – Our host & the devil incarnate
Mike Kay – The thing that goes bump in the night
Roxy Paradox – Stunning Sideshow Freak
Les Folies de La Mort – Cursed chorus girls

The Programme:
The Fence
By Richard Dasan, Haydn Carter, and Connor Tomlinson
When a controversial case is put in front of two lawyers, they must show the jury whether or not it is ethical to take a life in good will.
The Yellow Wallpaper
Charlotte Perkins Gilmer (US) gothic short story (1892) The Yellow Wallpaper holds resounding echoes today. As her journal unfolds we learn the terrible secret of The Yellow Wallpaper. This dark one woman piece is performed by Wellington storyteller and comedian Caroline Welkin.
2067
Written by Matty Smith. Directed by Pachali Brewster. Acted by Stuart Moore.
Post-Apocalypse: A Prologue.
Marina and Melanie Will Always Walk You Home
By Rosie Cann
Melanie and Marina get a hard rap. They are torn down but they keep going. They listen and sympathise and hold your hair or your hand depending what you need. They are your sisters. They have your back. They will walk you home. This is my love letter to them.
WOUND
By Rosie Cann
WOUND speaks to the parts of us we try to hide, to wipe away with running mascara, to blink back, to drown out with yet another glass of merlot. WOUND is the voice of the broken heart, and presents tales of vulnerability and pain from the public, so that, hopefully, we can acknowledge the beauty of the low that we would rather pretend never happened.
Shoe
By Rosie Cann
A collection of tales from the lowest places on earth… namely, the ground, Shoe. is a collection of monologues performed entirely by shoes. These sole-full speeches will be laced with laughter and wisdom, pumped with earnest intent and wedged right into your ears, knotting your stomach and heeling any grudges that might remain between yourself and the doc martens that finally gave out, or the sprained ankle your favourite high-heels inflicted last week that you just can’t stillet-go.
MC: Caroline Welkin
Stage and Technical Manager: Hannah Clark-Younger
ShoeString 2015 Organisers: Hannah Clark-Younger and Pachali Brewster
