Born in Thailand, raised in Malaysia and Egypt, Klinpibul — a self-described TCK in her 20s — revisits the people and places she is supposed to call home.
Patty with a WhY is a semi-autobiographical monologue developed for the 2023 Ōtepoti Theatre Lab Playwrights Programme.
Klinpibul, with dramaturg and director Emily Duncan, has expanded the work into her debut full-length solo show.
Patty with a WhY promises a world of wonders, laughter, a few tears and hopefully some answers for your own WhYs.
The 50-minute performance will be staged at the New Athenaeum Theatre, Octagon, on Saturday at 6pm, and Sunday at 2pm.

The show will also be staged at the Auckland Fringe Festival on September 6-7.
