Description Holed up on Hope Street during lockdown, five flatmates while away the time telling tall tales every night… for 48 Nights. Inspired by the spirit of Giovanni Bocaccio’s The Decameron, the storytelling epic written in the 14th century as the Plague was sweeping through Europe, ATC brings together five of Aotearoa’s most exciting young writers and a diverse company of actors and musicians to create a direct theatrical response to this moment.'
