Free Theatre is the vanguard of post-quake cool... If you’re after an antidote to the stream-lined nine to five, whisk yourself away to the Free Theatre’s next Ubu Night. It’s my new favourite thing about Friday.

Ubu, Free Theatre Christchurch's Patron Saint, would like to invite you to a series of Friday night events where performance is combined with hospitality in ways that he describes as Pataphysical.
Ubu Nights are quite unlike anything else - anywhere! Combining theatre, music, film and hospitality, audiences become part of an ever changing, ever exhilarating series of sensory environments where the unexpected is to be expected. Free Theatre together with its hospitality partner The Rolling Om, collaborates with a diversity of artists to create spectacular experiences. Ubu's Bar is stocked with the finest from Black Estate Wines and Cassels & Sons with an Ubu Special reflecting the experience of the night and to complement the Menu for the evening. Entry is $10 (door sales only), the bar is open from 6pm. Notifications about upcoming Ubu Nights will be posted on our social media pages and via our mailing list.

"What a bright ray of sunshine in an otherwise gloomy city! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed the night and were immensely impressed by the artistry and richness of the whole experience. We kept saying afterwords how extraordinary to find this here!" 
These are fantastic experiences which expand the appreciation and understanding of theatre beyond some of the more traditional formats and engage an entirely different audience in theatre....elating, exhilarating and disorientating all at once" |
