About
In a war-torn city, a shuttered theatre becomes a makeshift hospital, a fragile sanctuary where international doctors fight to save lives while caught between their humanitarian mission and the brutal reality of occupation. When a hunted journalist seeks refuge, carrying evidence of mass atrocities, they are forced to face an impossible choice.
This is not a play about a distant war; it is a story about what happens when ideology crushes humanity, when the powerful silence the powerless, and when ordinary people must choose between survival and doing what is right. With a final twist you will not see coming, Escape from Garcia will stay with you long after the curtain falls.
Escape from Garcia is a powerful story that asks difficult questions about love, loyalty, and truth. Questions that resonate far beyond the stage. Whether you are drawn to gripping drama or stories that speak to our times, this is a production not to be missed.
This show is performed in Mandarin.

I-start Chinese Theatre is the first Chinese theatre in New Zealand, which was established on 26 September 2014.
Since then, we basically produced a new play each year. All of them received excellent reviews from the audiences, Chinese Media and local Media.
I-start Theatre aims to give Chinese amateur theatre performers a stage on which to show their talents, to realise their dreams, to tell their stories, at the same time to entertain and inspire our audiences.
