FESTIVALS

AUCKLAND ARTS FESTIVAL

11-29 March

This year the Arts Festival have introduced special under-30 tickets which are cheaper than the adult prices (by about 20-30%) for a portion of their shows. Thanks, AAF! Some of our highlights from those events: First Nations and Maori comedy Black Ties, class-war Scottish play Mouthpiece and circus-cabaret Limbo Unhinged. Turn to page 96 for a preview of our other picks. Various locations, aaf.co.nz
