Is this happening to you?

• Fiscal demands affecting your small business?
• Addiction to SquiggleTops getting out of control?
• Do you really believe the recession is over?
• Pyramid selling not working out?
• Are the heathens on the street begging for a baptism by fire?
• Has the price of petrol come down?
• Membership to the Live Action Role Playing Association expired?
• Exhausted your internet search for an affordable sex change holiday?

If so, Gas is back!
After a successful premiere in Auckland 2008 with Thomas Sainsbury, Gas travels to Wellington for an even bigger 2009. Conrad Newport (Entertaining Mr Sloane, Le Sud, Niu Sila) directs your favourite petrol station workers as they share their ordinary lives in extraordinary circumstances.

Cameron, Lillith, Shantilal, Kavita and Desirae are manning the stations ready to pump you a tank full of 91 high octane fun… bring your fuel dockets for 4c discount at the door.

“After the show I made a beeline to get myself a pie, chips and toffee pops… and found myself voyeuristically curious about the lives behind the faces behind the counter… Its high-octane humour will have you laughing and cringing magnanimously - and long after you leave the venue.” Sian Robertson,Theatreview,June 2008

It’s not everyday you see a Cambodian, Sri Lankan and 3 Pakeha on stage together. Gas Is supported by Asia New Zealand Foundation and prides itself on representing a multicultural workforce as they collide with each other in a modern day New Zealand metropolis. Who says you can’t have fun on a minimum wage?
