“Compelling, all embracing, challenging and uplifting” – Stage Whispers

 

Staged entirely on a moving bus, Darrell Dennis’ play is about a contemporary Indigenous man who grows up on both the reserve and in “big-city” Vancouver. This show conjures up many characters that appear in Simon’s life, all played by one actor.

A perennial favourite of Canada’s Talk Is Free Theatre, Tales of An Urban Indian has played over 500 performances in locations across Canada, Australia, Argentina, Chile, and Suriname.

This event starts at Te Pou Theatre. From there, audience members will board a bus, travel with the performer for the duration of the play, and return to Te Pou Theatre.


Talk Is Free Theatre is an award-winning theatre company based just north of Toronto in Barrie, Canada. Best known for its over 20-year history of wowing audiences with new creations, unexpected reimaginings of established works, and neglected classics at home and around the globeC

When the world of high art collides with the world of advertising and consumerism ‘Limited
Time Only’ is what you get. An absurd physical-theatre comedy from multi-award show
watching director Hone Taukiri that will give you a great night out and ask for nothing in return
but all of your money.
GrindHouse Theatre presents: LIMITED TIME ONLY – available for a Limited Time only…
