“What’s the difference between stealing something you need and stealing something you don’t need?”

Thief!

Thief! a solo, semi-quasi-autobiographical show, perfomed by powerhouse, Kelly Hocking. Initially developed as part of the inaugural Ōtepoti Theatre Lab Playwrights Programme 2019, the full length version premiered at Dunedin Fringe Festival 2021, with return seasons in Dunedin and Christchurch in November of the same year.

“An honest and unfalteringly bold retelling of her journey from sheltered child to adult independence…brightened with bursts of her brilliant voice.”

Ruth Agnew, Flat City Field Notes

Written and performed by Kelly Hocking

Direction & dramaturgy by Emily Duncan & Allison Horsley
