Outfit Announce COURSE RELATED COSTS by Colin Garlick for May 29 to June 2 in Auckland

The Outfit Theatre Company presents The Factory Floor season of COURSE RELATED COSTS, a new pitch-black comedy written by ensemble member Colin Garlick and directed by ensemble member Pete Coates from Tuesday 29th May - Saturday 2nd June at The Basement Studio, Lower Greys Ave, Auckland CBD.

Being a student can be tough. After all, there's only so much time you can spend drinking, surfing, and messing round with your mates, all the while keeping Mum convinced that you're a star pupil. Not to even mention the always dire financial situation. What the hell do you do for cash when your course related costs money runs out? How do you afford that slab of Double Brown and ounce of Coro Gold then?

For flatmates Pete, Monty and AJ, the answer couldn't be more obvious. Why not get some use out of their developing chemistry and entrepreneurial skills, and cook up Auckland's best ever batch of methamphetamine!

It seems like the perfect plan, 6 months of cooking and selling equals 3 years of studying and partying. What could possibly go wrong? Well, add to the toxic mixture a junkie ex-girlfriend, a sociopathic crime boss and, inexplicably, a door-knocking conservative politician, and this suburban P-lab is all set to explode!

Starring Brad Johnson, Jordan Mooney, Tarquinn Kennedy, Joel Herbert, Chris Tempest, Sarah Graham, Jacqui Nauman, Devlin Bishop and Andrew Ford, COURSE RELATED COSTS is produced by Ema Barton, lighted by Brad Gledhill and features set designs by Sarah Graham.

The Factory Floor season is Outfit Theatre’s annual development initiative. Starting with 2011’s ‘Love After Dark’, The Factory Floor is designed to give Outfit Theatre’s ensemble actors the opportunity to expand their creative skills into writing or directing, and also to give new emerging performers the opportunity to work with, and within, the Outfit Theatre’s ensemble.

The show is rated R15 for violence, strong language and adult themes.

Show times are 8pm Tues-Sat with late night show 10pm Friday.

Tickets are $13 concession (students, seniors and equity card holders) or $18 adult from www.iticket.co.nz.
