UNCONQUERABLE
Celebrate 16 years of Hobson Street Theatre Company with an evening of storytelling from our whānau! Told through the voices of our company, these stories honour the people, experiences and connections that have defined the past 16 years.
Unconquerable brings together interesting, funny and surprising stories from people’s lives shared through interviews and crafted into short scenes. Stories have been drawn from the wider street and Auckland City Mission community, and given a creative twist.
Unconquerable is a time travel story in which a truck driver grapples with the perennial question of whether our lives are shaped by fate or the choices we make. It's also a story of a truckie picking up some of the oddest hitchhikers he's ever met.
Taking the stage are familiar faces and first-time performers from the company. Developed with Acacia O’Connor and Roy Iro, based on stories from the collective.
This is our first production since Not King Lear at Q Theatre (Auckland Arts Festival) and Let Me Tell You About Auckland (Matariki Festival) in 2024.
Presented by Hobson Street Theatre Company with funding from the Creative Communities Scheme, and support from Auckland City Mission - Te Tāpui Atawhai, Basement Theatre and St Matthew-in-the-City.
Dates: 29 September - 3 October 2026
Venue: Basement Theatre, Lower Greys Avenue, Auckland CBD
All tickets are choose what you pay.
