Firing the Canon is a series that revisits the best of Aotearoa's theatre canon to re-introduce artists and audiences to landmark works that forged pathways and laid foundations for the form today.
The series will feature three works by queer playwrights, directed by artists from Basement Theatre's past, present and future and performed by all-star casts.
The plays are:
- Joyful and Triumphant by Robert Lord
- Setting the Table by Renee
- The Black by Josephine Stewart-Tewhiu
