Production Details



When Elisabeth Easther first stumbled across the writings of ornithologist Perrine Moncrieff, specifically her 1925 field guide, New Zealand Birds and How To Identify Them, she was astonished  that Perrine was not better remembered.

To remedy that historical amnesia, A Rare Bird explores the audacious exploits of an extraordinary woman in a male-dominated world, and reveals the vital role Perrine Moncrieff played in conserving the flora and fauna of Aotearoa.

TAHI Festival 
This performance is presented as part of and in collaboration with TAHI: New Zealand Festival of Solo Performance.  This five-day festival is dedicated to showcasing Aotearoa’s finest, most engaging solo performance. TAHI gathers soloists from around the nation, and beyond – from established to emerging practitioners – to present work, collaborate and make connections across the industry. Alongside premiering and showcasing solo performances, the Festival provides opportunities for practitioners to extend the life of their performance work, to upskill, and to network through an integrated programme of performance, workshops, and forums. TAHI also seeks to foster relationships among tertiary institutions, actor training courses, secondary schools, BATS Theatre, and industry professionals.
