TICKET GIVEAWAY
Thanks to ANU Za Kabuki, 2XX has 6 double passes to give away to Shibaraku: Wait a Moment!, being performed at Canberra REP Theatre, Acton, from October 11-13.

Email [email protected] with Shibaraku, your name, phone number and preferred performance date* in the subject line and the first 6 subscribers to write in will win a pass.

ANU Za Kabuki’s 47th annual production, this year it is presenting “Shibaraku: Wait a Moment!” for three performances. Famous for being one of the “famous Juuhachi-ban: the 18 Kabuki plays performed by the members of the Ichikawa family”, this is your chance to see it in Canberra!

The story of Shibaraku is set in front of the Tsuruoka Hachimangu shrine, where an evil aristocrat Kiyohara no Takehira has usurped power and taken as prisoners several imperial royals, including the prince Yoshitsuna and the princess Katsura no Mae. When it seems the bad guys have won and all hope is lost, a tremendous shout “Shibaraku! (Wait a moment!)” can be heard loudly from behind the agemaku curtain.

At each performance, ANU Za Kabuki will hold a raffle with prizes provided from its sponsors and all proceeds go towards the Tohoku Youth Foundation, supporting those who were affected by the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami and Earthquake in Japan.

The opening night features an exclusive photo booth for audience members, run by the Japanese embassy.

*There are two passes available for each performance
Friday, October 11 – 6:30pm

Thanks to Vendetta Films, 2XX has 5 double passes to give away to GHOSTLIGHT, a film starring Keith Kupferer, Katherine Mallen Kupferer and Tara Mallen, opening in cinemas on 10th October.

Email [email protected] with Ghostlight, your name, address and phone number in the subject line and the first 5 subscribers to write in will win a pass.

Ghostlight centres on Dan, a melancholic middle-aged construction worker grieving a family tragedy. Cut off from his devoted wife, Sharon, and talented but troubled daughter, Daisy, Dan finds comfort and community in a misfit company of amateur actors. While moonlighting in a low-rent production of Shakespeare’s most protean tragedy, Dan is forced to confront his buried emotions.
