About the company
The Rebel Alliance is an independent Auckland based theatre company. Founded in 2006, we have to date presented 11 works - 7 of which have been premieres of new New Zealand plays. We also started off the development of Centrepoint which co-won the Adam Award for best new New Zealand play in 2015.
Often solidly planted in real life (The Orderly, Grace, Heroic Faun No. One, Yours Truly, Standstill, Manifesto 2083, Back to Square One? and The Valentina), the works we present prove that truth often surpasses fiction. Extraordinary life stories move, provoke, inspire and put our own lives into perspective.
