Three readings of new works by Sam Brooks, including the 2024 Adam NZ Play Award winner.

June 12: This is My Story of Us. A queer love story, with a twist. When Kane and Hero meet one fateful afternoon on a mountaintop, neither of them can predict where life will take them. Winner of the 2024 Adam NZ Play Award.

June 13: The Boy Trip. Boy meets rich boy. Rich boy falls in love with boy. Another boy comes along to shake things up. In this play, inspired by Preston Sturges’ The Lady Eve, scams, love and petty revenge are inextricably tied together – because after all, isn’t love the biggest scam of all? Shortlisted for the 2024 Adam NZ Play Award

June 14: Boy Meets Man. A journalist returns to his rural home town to cover the anniversary of a scandal that changed the lives of everybody involved. However, his objectivity starts to fail him as his own history – and complicity – emerges.
