AUDIENCE COMMENTS -

Up North

It's good, meaty drama, well-written and well performed.

-Lee Matthews for the Manawatu Standard

Four Flat Whites in Italy

In true Roger Hall style, Four Flat Whites in Italy manages to be both funny and poignant, and the acting cannot be faulted.

-Michelle Duff for the Manawatu Standard

The four leads pass the ball back and forth, creating laughter and frustration, but more importantly friendship. They remind the audience that travel is about absorbing everything another part of the world has to offer, and a chance to see not only the locals but relook at ourselves... It is a must see!

-Joan Ford for the Feilding Herald

Highlights

Georgia Woods' vibrant voice and dynamic presence sails with ease and versatility through a lively and entertaining parade of famous blondes. There is never a dull moment in 50 minutes of high octane singing and witty presentation - don't miss it. 

-Max Cryer.

It's quickly apparent her voice is strong enough to heft a 747 around, but while she shows plenty of flair and personality during each number, at no time was anything over sung. Her vibrato was perfect and in the end it's impossible to doubt her versatility and skill when handling such a range of musical styles.

-David Collins for The Tribune

Wood is a superb hostess, and her show is wonderful fun that no one needs to be blonde to enjoy.

-Richard Mays for The Guardian

Highlights encourages the idea that songs are touchstones which recollect, sort and savour moments in history. The vivacious Wood has done nothing less than capture the sound and heart of a whole lifetime.

-Richard Mays for The Guardian

Ladies For Hire

I saw just today your Ladies for Hire. I really enjoyed it. Well done! I am sure that you have in your hands a big hit.

-Jussi

We really enjoyed Ladies for Hire on Saturday Night.  Cute, and light-hearted for Christmas. In fact we've really enjoyed every show that we have seen this year (we love centrepoint!!!)

-Shelly

Up North

by Pip Hall

5 June - 3 July 2010

Directed by Rachel House

Sponsored by Fitzherbert Rowe

Starring Chloe Lewer, Kate Louise Elliott & Matthew Chamberlain

Set in rural New Zealand in the 1950s, childless couple Evelyn and Jimmy Davis live on a farm in the middle of nowhere. Financially stretched, they agree to foster a pregnant unwed teenager, who has been shipped 'up north' to await the birth of her unplanned baby.

Evie and Jimmy are initially judgmental, but Maggie proves to be a welcome breath of fresh air in their otherwise mundane lives. They couldn't be more different: The Davie's are people of the land - simple, set in their ways - while townie Maggie is vivacious and curious about the world. However, they soon discover they have more in common than just a love of dancing. Each are social outcasts in their own way, and they all harbour secrets and shattered dreams.

As the baby grows, the claustrophobic isolation paired with the community's crippling conformity gradually leads them all into temptation that will change their lives forever.

Performance Times: Wednesday 6.30pm, Thursday - Saturday 8pm, Sunday 5pm (excluding Sunday 6 June)
