And the good news for local actors, writers, directors and independent theatre companies is it’s your chance to perform, direct or see your play on stage.

Over two action packed weeks Short+Sweet Auckland 2010 will present the best 40 plays and theatre works from local and international writers presented by some of the best established and up-and-coming Auckland artists.

Short + Sweet's season consists of forty ten minute plays – plenty to keep you interested for two whole weeks.
