Rose Noelle

Flipside

By Ken Duncum

Thursday 4th March – Saturday 13th March 2010

TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs

“Never underestimate the power of water!”

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Matt Halliday, I am the Marketing Manager for SmackBang Theatre Company, the new professional Theatre Company in Residence at TAPAC, Western Springs.

Sailing and the ocean have always been a huge part of NZ life. Flipside tells the true story of four men confronting the elements, each other and themselves in the overturned tri-maran, Rose-Noelle. The capsizing of the Rose-Noelle has been part of New Zealand folklore for over twenty years; John Glennie, James Nalepka, Rick Hellriegel and Phil Hoffman embarked on what should have been a long-yet-fortuitous journey to Tonga only to be hit by a storm, tipping the boat upside down and stranding them in the Pacific Sea for a then record 119 days.

As the first play up in our 2010 season at our new home, SmackBang Theatre Company wanted to choose a play that spoke in volumes about who and what we are. What better way to do this than with a great New Zealand play about a great New Zealand pastime.

I feel privileged to have the opportunity to be a part of this work in a mark of respect to the four brave men of the Rose-Noelle, and also to New Zealand’s unique maritime history. I hope you will join me in this tribute.

This show will be a perfect night out for all ocean-goers. I’d like to offer you a special group price or the opportunity to use this show as a fundraising event for your club with tickets available at a heavily discounted rate – please see the following page for full details.

Kind Regards

Matt Halliday

Marketing Manager
SmackBang Theatre Co.

The show is the perfect night out for sailing and ocean fans, and a great introduction to a live show for those that may not regularly attend theatre. We can offer groups of six or more tickets at the special rate of $20 each (plus service fees).

We are encouraging teams to come along especially on Tuesday 9th March for a bit of a club night. So get the whole crew together, skip training and come down for a bit of ‘team-building’.
