Patty with a WhY

New, award-winning theatre work about growing up abroad and adulting as a Third Culture Kid (TCK) written and performed by Ōtepoti-based Patty Klinpibul will premiere in Dunedin before heading to Auckland Fringe.
Lost in a Thai market. Lost in my TCK mind.
Born in Thailand, raised in Malaysia and Egypt, a Dunedin-based Third Culture Kid in her 20s revisits the people and places she’s supposed to call home.
Patty with a WhY is a semi-autobiographical monologue Patty Klinpibul developed for the 2023 Ōtepoti Theatre Lab Playwrights Programme. With dramaturg and director Emily Duncan, Patty has expanded the work into her debut full-length solo show, which she’s excited to share with Ōtepoti Dunedin and Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 2024.
Whether or not you identify as a TCK, Patty with a WhY promises a world of wonders, laughter, a few tears, and hopefully some answers for your own WhYs.
