Golden Bay theatre company DramaLAB’s musical premiere promises “a real treat” for Pōhara Hall audiences over eight nights.

Rescue: Remedy – the musical, directed and produced by Martine Baanvinger, is destined to be “hilarious, dynamic, and unique”, “full of rhythm”, “where no one escapes a look into the mirror of life”.

It’s a culmination of 12-months toil by a group of dedicated physical-theatre actors, who will also be joined by local musicians.

Martine says Rescue: Remedy in the musical is an environmentally-focused festival and it’s calling a diverse group of healers to create solutions for the Earth and its people to heal the destruction humanity has caused.

“In their quest to find the solution they encounter their own and each other’s personalities, ego’s, and past and futures,” she says.

“While they descend into the depth of the Earth to get to the core of the issue, a painful reality hits them.”

The show dates are 12, 13, 14, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23 February and it is restricted to persons 16 years and over.
