World premiere. From the writer of Phoenix Theatre's smash hit Call Girls. This is shear gold Kiwi comedy. There's a pub in rural Chipton Valley called the Ramshackle Bar, where the telly on the wall doesn't work properly, and the publican-come-councillor, a bloke called Bryce, reckons violence is never the answer, right before he thumps it. That's about as sophisticated as things get around here. Until two local shearers, Biff and Cal, somehow shear their way into the World Championship and decide the final should be held right here. In Chipton Valley. Population: not many, and most of them drink at the Ramshackle. Suddenly the whole town's got something to prove. There's a gambling-addicted federation boss, an Australian shearer with a trophy wife and an ego to match, a shepherd who's very familiar with the local herbs, and a barmaid who's been trying to get out of this town since before the play started. Shaving Ewe is a comedy about small towns punching above their weight, blokes who take shearing far too seriously, and what happens when the rest of the country finally looks your way, even if it's only for a few short days. It's got sheep, rivalry, and choice words you'll only ever hear in the woolshed. Come and see if Chipton Valley pulls it off. Or watch it all go spectacularly wrong. Either way, this is a brilliant Kiwi comedy and a great night out.
