Attention: Multiple new occurrences confirmed. Healthy citizens report to safehouses by sunset.

A lycanthropy outbreak has begun. A seven-day lockdown is declared over an emergency broadcast, and you have been summoned to the local shelter, where three ill-equipped wardens keep watch over a makeshift community that must learn to work together. But as the threat outside takes shape, the atmosphere inside begins to turn.

The Auckland Arts Festival sold-out show returns. Inspired by the classic game of deception, Werewolf is a gripping blend of thriller and dark comedy, pulling you into an immersive world of suspicion, survival, and uneasy laughter.

Heart-pounding sound design, razor-sharp performances, and a daring, darkly funny style. This international cult hit asks: when night falls — who do you trust?
 

Content warning: Contains periods of complete darkness, flashing lights, loud noises, and content designed to unsettle.

Werewolf is presented by Binge Culture
