My Husband's Nuts
By Devon Williamson
9 - 27 March
Director: Kim Williamson
About the show:
From the writer of our hit shows "Menopause Made Me Do It" and "Understanding Women" comes this new hilarious Kiwi comedy. Barbara's husband is missing on the family farm. When Jack finally returns he is a nervous wreck and will not leave the house... he is suffering from Agri-phobia (the fear of agriculture!)... and is convinced that he is Hiroo Onada - a Japanese soldier holding out on an island after World War Two. Barbara's husband is nuts. How will she, and her collection of crazy country friends, restore Jacks mind without the help of the medical profession... or common sense? Who is really insane?
Don't miss this fresh, fast paced, crazy comedy.
Art
By Yasmina Reza
18 - 29 May
Directed By Stuart Gunn
About the show:
How much would you pay for a white painting? Would it matter who the painter was? Would it be art? One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting. It's about five feet by four, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Ivan, is pulled into the disagreement. Eager to please, Ivan tells Serge he likes the painting. As their arguments become less theoretical and more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: 'Go on.' This is where the friendship is finally tested and the aftermath of action, and its reaction, affirms the power of those bonds. Tony Award winner 1998.
The Merchant of Venice
By William Shakespeare
1 - 18 September
Director: Devon Williamson
About the show:
Shakespeare's compelling tale of justice and cruelty, friendship and love. The story of Shylock's deadly claim for a pound of Antonio's flesh, the horror and helplessness of Antonio's friends, and of the mysterious young lawyer who comes to his rescue. This dynamic classic is infused with comedy, tragedy, wit, and passion. Classic, timeless theatre that is not to be missed.
Leading Ladies
By Ken Ludwig
9 - 27 November
Directed By Kim Williamson
About the show:
In this hilarious comedy by the author of LEND ME A TENOR and MOON OVER BUFFALO , two English Shakespearean actors, Jack and Leo, find themselves so down on their luck that they are performing 'Scenes from Shakespeare' on the Moose Lodge circuit in the Amish country of Pennsylvania. When they hear that an old lady in York, PA is about to die and leave her fortune to her two long lost English nephews, they resolve to pass themselves off as her beloved relatives and get the cash. The trouble is, when they get to York, they find out that the relatives aren't nephews, but nieces! Romantic entanglements abound, especially when Leo falls head-over-petticoat in love with the old lady's vivacious niece, Meg, who's engaged to the local minister. Meg knows that there's a wide world out there, but it's not until she meets 'Maxine and Stephanie' that she finally gets a taste of it.
