A Lost Cause

A Lost Cause is a Black comedy written by Loren Black and directed by Amber Libert�, starring an all-female cast exploring the brutal, harrowing and repressed notion that is Mental Health in Aotearoa.

Sometimes I think I'm crazy, then I realize you are too. We're all bloody nuts.

We're Crazy. Clingy. Emotional. Needy. Sacred. Selfish. Victim. Attention Seeking. Dramatic. Suicidal.

So why aren't we talking about it?

This show is something very close to our hearts. We want to engage people in the conversation about mental illness BUT the thing is, theatre is expensive and we hate making artists work for free. All we need is love, support and cash (emphasis on the cash.)

A Lost Cause is a brand new love child that is about to be birthed at Basement Theatre from October 16 - 20 and although this is an absolute labour of love, it would be 100% better if we could buy some props, hire a safe rehearsal space, and maybe even pay some creatives (unheard of, I know.)

We are extremely proud of this show. We found a group of incredibly talented women and created a story that showcases an epidemic in our country that too many people avoid. Placing women in the spotlight and depression at the forefront, we are determined to open the lines of communication.

We appreciate all and any support you can give!
