Square Eye Pair
Chicken Legs Theatre The Basement, Auckland | June 26-30 Pokémon. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Star Wars. These are things Richard (Hamish Parkinson) and Max (Eli Matthewson) spend their days with, their eyes constantly drawn towards the TV screen. Square Eye Pair follows these two best friends through their TV-driven days, whether they’re watching a Buffy marathon, playing videogames or just plain liking each other’s Facebook comments. The show returns to The Basement after winning Best Comedy at the Auckland Fringe Festival 2011 and touring to Dunedin earlier this year, and is set to go to the Edinburgh Festival later this year. It’s a slick, endearing lo-fi romp with a lot of spontaneity, energy, and wit to it.
