The town of Stubbins is plagued by a beast, one that roams at night, tearing through livestock, howling to the skies – a werewolf... aka Derek, an awkward, loveable 16-year-old. Derek doesn’t want to be a werewolf. He’s been sneaking into the woods to transform in secret. No one’s been harmed, but unless Derek finds a cure, it’s only a matter of time. Time which he doesn’t have. With a monster hunter arriving in town, Derek must find help before he’s discovered, or worse, someone is killed. But is the “help” all seems?

About the show

Werewolf – The Game: The Show! is a theatre and comedy production by Napier University Drama Society, set in the town of Stubbins. The story follows Derek, an awkward and loveable teenager who has been secretly transforming in the woods — he doesn't want to be a werewolf. No one has yet been harmed, but time is running out. With a monster hunter arriving in town, Derek must find a cure before he is discovered or someone gets hurt. The show contains strobe lighting and strong language. Suitable for ages 14 and over at Ivy Studio. Runs for 55 minutes.

Why see this show?

A charming and funny coming-of-age monster story from Napier University Drama Society. Derek is an endearingly reluctant werewolf, and Stubbins is the kind of town where secrets never stay buried for long. Good-natured, suspenseful fun.
