A 30 minute play, destined for the towns and villages of Vanuatu, takes about 2 weeks to write and rehearse. 10 minute specials for conferences and meetings take 2 or 3 days to produce.  The group likes touring best. It is always exciting to set off to a village and perform plays to a totally new audience; be it in Vanuatu or overseas. Performing in remote villages also gives the group the opportunity to stay the night and discuss issues in detail after the play.
