Abby Howells - La Soupco | Tauranga Arts Festival '23

A screenplay written by Abby Howells when she was eleven years old, La Soupco* is a nautical romance, set in the wake of World War II. No historical research, verification or corroboration was undertaken. For the first time ever, this screenplay will be brought to life, onstage, as it was written.

Comedian Abby Howells took out this year’s prestigious Billy T Award with this exuberant take on love, nautical trauma and buying Impulse for your mum. Buckle up for an adventure.

* This name is not relevant in any way, nor does it make any sense. Abby does not know why she named it this.
