Magnus is (Finally) coming home!! After 3 cancelled south island seasons thanks to our pandemic pal, the critically acclaimed, interactive crime-thriller/comedy is finally coming home to Otautahi this April!!

Infamous private eye Magnus Steele (Austin Harrison) investigates the crime of the century through interrogations, jazz, and beat poetry, but here’s the catch: all the victims, suspects, and witnesses are played by YOU! Come prepared for hilarity, bad accents, and to be a part of the show!

Magnus Steele has been delighting audiences around the country for 2 years to critical acclaim. Nominated for "Most Promising Emerging Artist" at NZ Fringe 2020 and "The Side-Splitter" Comedy award at the inaugural Whangarei Fringe Fest, Austin can't wait to bring Magnus to his home town!! Are you ready to solve crimes with comedy? We can't wait!!'

The show is reminiscent of Brooklyn Nine Nine, if they let me join in from my sofa. In other words it’s witty, unpredictable and wonderfully endearing and the jokes are pretty cool. Cool, cool, cool.' - Sara Hirsch, Art Murmurs
