SUMMARY:WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION AUDITIONS
DESCRIPTION:A combined production from Little Theatre and Repertory \n\nLeonard Vole convinces even the perceptive Sir Wilfred that he is innocent of murder\, although the circumstantial evidence is damning. In the mounting tension of the trial there are three amazing developments. Vole’s wife takes the stand and coldly swears away her husband’s alibi.

But there is still the dramatic finale…\n\n\nWitness for the Prosecution: Cast\n\n\nFemale (4):\n\n\nGreta (Sir Wilfred’s typist\, an adenoidal girl with a good opinion of herself)\n\n\nRomaine (late 30s-early 40s\, a German woman of great personality\, but very quiet. Her voice has a strangely ironic inflection)\n\n\nJanet Mackenzie (housekeeper\, a tall\, dour-looking Scotswoman)\n\n\nYoung woman (strawberry blonde\, with a crude\, obvious appeal)\n\n\nMale (7):\n\n\nCarter (Sir Wilfred’s chief clerk)/Mr Justice Wainwright (the judge)\n\n\nMr Mayhew (a typical middle-aged solicitor\, shrewd\, dry\, and rather precise)\n\n\nLeonard Vole (a likeable\, friendly young man\, about 27)\n\n\nSir Wilfred Robarts Q C (for the defence\, distinguished older man recovering from a heart operation)\n\n\nInspector Hearne (a tall\, good-looking officer)/Policeman\n\n\nPlain-clothes Detective/Warder\n\n\nMr Myers Q C (for the prosecution)\n\n\nMale/female (3):\n\n\nClerk of the Court/Court Usher\n\n\nMr/Miss Clegg (forensic laboratory assistant)\n\n\nDr Wyatt (police surgeon)\n\n\nOther walk-on\, non-speaking parts are available but not necessary

The show must go on. \n\n“Easy Money” \nBy Roger Hall\nDirected by Alice Sollis \nOn Stage Playhouse from 21st to 29th August 2020 \n“Easy Money” is a clever satire about greed\, adapted from Ben Jonson’s 17th century play “The Alchemist”. The story follows two con artists\, Trudi and Stephen\, as they connive to fool their prestigious Auckland neighbours into buying shares in the Auckland Harbour Bridge. If there’s money to be made in a scam\, they know how to do it.\nWith double-crosses\, dirty tricks\, and twists and turns this is Roger Hall at his best.\nRoger Hall said that he saw “The Alchemist” in London and it was “…gut achingly funny. A merchant flees the town to avoid the Plague\, leaving his house in charge of his servant who uses it as a base to defraud as many people as possible.\nBring it up to date. An upfront Auckland Harbour luxury apartment let out via Airbnb to a couple from Australia for a four-week stay… It doesn’t take them long to find others in the apartment block ripe for plucking. And away we go.”

SUMMARY:Hamlet Dies at the End - Tickets on sale NOW!!!
DESCRIPTION:Hamlet Dies at the End\nA comedy by Gavin McGibbon: Playhouse\n1st to 8th November 2019 \nHamlet Dies at the End \nFrom award-winning New Zealand playwright\, Gavin McGibbon\, (‘Holding On’ and ‘Under The Hood’) comes a heart-warming comedy of classic Kiwi characters in a play about a play. \nOf course Hamlet dies at the end\, I hear you say\, but wait – before he does there’s a whole lot of shenanigans with a ragtag bunch of misfits trying to come to terms with life\, each other… oh and Shakespeare’s great tragedy\, Hamlet. \nPerhaps Hamlet Dies at the End would be tragic if it weren’t so comical. It deals with death but nobody dies (completely)\, it gets to grips with some “full-on sh*t” and it ends by affirming life in all its puzzling glory. From 91-year-old Charlie\, whose wife has just left him\, to young Jimmy\, who set fire to his cat\, the characters bring Hamlet to life in ways you never thought possible.

SUMMARY:Hamlet Dies at the End Auditions - 3rd & 4th August 1-3pm
DESCRIPTION:Hamlet Dies at the End    by Gavin McGibbon 1st to 7th November 2019 show dates.  Saturday 3rd and Sunday 4th August\, 1-3pm at The Playhouse. \nWell of course Hamlet dies at the end\, but not in this play about a ragtag bunch of misfits trying to come to terms with life\, each other… oh and Shakespeare’s great tragedy\, Hamlet. \nHamlet Dies at the End would be a tragedy if it weren’t so comical. It deals with death but nobody dies (quite) and it ends by affirming life in all its puzzling inconsistency and prolific glory. From 91-year-old Charlie\, whose wife has just left him\, to young Jimmy\, who set fire to his cat\, the characters bring Hamlet to life in ways you never thought possible. \nAn ultimately heart-warming comedy from award-winning New Zealand playwright Gavin McGibbon\,  (‘Holding On’ and ‘Under The Hood’). \nSynopsis:\nFive people with little in common are thrown together in a workshop to learn Shakespeare’s Hamlet from an intense drama tutor\, with the aim of performing excerpts before an invited audience. “This is art\, not therapy”\, says the tutor\, but the members of the group have a different idea. As they interact we learn their various motivations and finally even Shakespeare’s great work becomes a vehicle for some kind of understanding and resolution. \nCharacters\nBecker\nAge: forties-fifties; the unemployed drama teacher\, ‘plagued by self-loathing’ but tries his best (when put on the spot) to share his love of theatre with others. \nDouglas\nAge: forties-fifties; a hard-rocking drummer in a covers band; outwardly easy-going but going through a difficult patch.  \nPatricia\nAge: forties-fifties; single; librarian; thinks she’s God’s gift to the stage; dedicated follower of Becker. \nRhonda\nAge: forties; mother\, wife and bus-driver\, not necessarily in that order; no-nonsense\, not someone you want to mess with. \nCharlie\nAge: ‘ninety-one’ (or thereabouts); veteran of WWII; still full of life; struggling to come to terms with being deserted by his wife at 91. \nJimmy\nAge: nineteen; very withdrawn and quiet but has hidden talents that slowly become revealed.
