Hawkes Bay: Win tickets for you and 3 friends to 'Hysterical'

ZM & Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival have teamed up to give you the chance to WIN tickets for you and 3 friends to Hysterical!

Get ready to laugh, cry, and cry-laugh at this smash-hit theatre show by award-winning poets Carrie Rudzinski and Olivia Hall.

Equal parts fierce, funny, and fearless, Hysterical is theatre every woman will relate to, tackling the everyday realities of shame, rage, body politics, supermarket meltdowns, and the myths that still tell us we’re “too emotional” to be taken seriously.

One night only Saturday 11th October, MTG Century Theatre, as part of Hawke’s Bay Arts Festival 2025.

You and your friends could be there! Plus, your prize includes a welcome drink on arrival to start the evening.
