A poetry show like no other!

On the back of a sell-out show at The Convent, Hiruhārama - Jerusalem, Chris Gallavin takes his utterly unique, engaging and entertaining poetry show to Our Lady's Home of Compassion, Island Bay. This is a show that weaves the narrative of New Zealand as a people, a country and a mix of cultures, through carefully written and selected poems, stories, and music. Accompanied by Paul Turner of Ceol Manawatu and surrounded by a spectacular exhibition of photographs taken at their recent sold-out show in Jerusalem, this is a show not to be missed!

24 August 2019, 3:00pm-5:30pm.
Our Lady's Home of Compassion, 2 Rhine Street (off Murray Street), Island Bay, Wellington.

Tickets available on Eventfinda.
