Apollo 13: Mission Control

Hackman (NZL)
PERFORMANCE

Can YOU bring them home?

Following acclaimed seasons at the Sydney Opera House and the New Zealand International Arts Festival, this interactive theatrical masterpiece is lauded by critics and loved by audiences for its innovation and imaginative design.

As three astronauts trapped 200,000 miles from earth fight for their lives, audience members seated in ‘Mission Control' must make the critical decisions necessary to bring the heroes safely home.

To deliver a truly inter-galactic experience, the theatre is transformed into an authentic 1970s replica of Mission Control, complete with retro computers, giant video screens, and elaborate consoles. Seats are also available in the ‘Press Gallery' for those who prefer a quieter trip into lunar orbit.
