The Butler – LAF. Partners & Funders. Lyttelton Arts Factory I Home of the Loons Theatre Trust. It’s sexy, it’s stunning to look at, and it’s very very funny. It’s The Butler. Where circus meets theatre and satire holds the mirror up to the middle classes. The Butler is like nothing else. It’s a Big Top spectacular and it’s intimate social satire. It’s bitter, it’s beautiful and it’s full of hilarious humour. For once, a standing ovation was not just appropriate; in this case it was necessary.

Venue – LAF. Partners & Funders. Lyttelton Arts Factory I Home of the Loons Theatre Trust. Venue and the Earthquakes. 16 Canterbury Street was badly hit by the earthquake of February 2011, but remained open. The Loons went to work on a production of Shakespeare’s Macbeth in the damaged building, set in a post-apocalyptic world. Then the June quake struck and rendered the building too dangerous to occupy. We have been fighting to rebuild but were unable to return to our much loved 16 Canterbury St site.
