Synopsis: | The boys are off on the trip of a life time to Europe they just have to make it to the airport and then theyll be away laughing. What could possibly go wrong? Flightless Birds, a show examining the greatest of all Kiwi traditions - 'The Big O.E.'. Bill and the boys have been talking about this trip for years and it's finally here. It's the night before and everything is all set to go as long as Joops doesn't forget anything. He does have a reputation for being a bit unreliable, but surely this time he'll be fine. However, when Joops unwittingly brings Simon's ex-girlfriend along things naturally become a bit tense and Bill finds himself struggling to keep the peace. A Lotto win, a missing passport, betrayal and a pre-flight bender - suddenly the boys' best laid plans are all coming apart at the seams. Can they pull it together or is the whole trip doomed before it even begins? | |||||

Synopsis: | TWACAS is also the acronym for "The West Auckland Cardigan Society", a group of three lonely individuals (you'd have to be to start a cardigan society&); Les, Tim and Trish - the founders of the society. Their non-existent lives are changed however upon the arrival of two new members: Lara and Bruce. Lara is a quintessential "babe" with her focus set on fashion, while Bruce is an ex-scuba diver-come-dolphin trainer - and with the club now a success beyond their wildest dreams, TWACAS looks to truly fulfil its potential. But while change is inevitable, change can also be a painful process. Cue sex, drugs, porn shops, dildos, lies, deceit, betrayal, prison, love triangles, pass the parcel, rousing oratory, freestyle rap, a touching ballad and more knitwear than a Glen Eden op-shop! TWACAS marks a family reunion of sorts, as the former "dream year" (2006) of graduates from UNITEC's School of Performing and Screen Arts, and having convinced their classmate Bonnie Soper to bring her knitwear along, TWACAS is certainly looking to be a sexy-yet-geeky affair. | |||||
