There will be plenty of entertainment on offer this November when Reset 2020 comes to town.
The festival, run by Taranaki Arts Festival Trust (TAFT), is the first festival to come to Taranaki since Womad in March this year.
It fills the entertainment gap left by the Covid-19 related cancellation of two other events, the Box of Tricks Festival and the Right Royal Cabaret Festival, which had both been scheduled to take place this year.
Reset 2020 means doors to theatres, creative spaces, museums, and galleries, around Taranaki, will be thrown open, offering a smorgasbord of entertainment over the two weeks.
From a wildly funny pop parody to a comedy about love, complete with theatrical magic, there is sure to be something to entertain everyone. Stanley Makuwe's Black Lover is one of the plays featuring in the line-up, and the gripping drama about war, politics and colonialism will explore the courage needed to stand against injustice in a nation experiencing deep racial divides.
