Part One – Under by award-winning playwright Cassandra Tse.
May was an athlete, an artist, brilliant headstrong and beautiful and now she has disappeared.
The man who loves her goes to great lengths to find her again, searching through his dreams and memories for clues to where she may have gone.
Under is a homage to the strength it takes to keep caring for someone who quite simply is just not there anymore. The poignant journey through memory to find the woman he loves who is now lost to Alzheimer’s
Part Two – Under an Old Hat devised by Chris Green.
The story continues with song and laughter What will we discover under an old hat. He brings to life the memories, travels, friends and the many different hats he has worn over the years.
With music from Josh Groban, Robbie Williams, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Frank Sinatra and more he lifts the evening with stories, songs, anecdotes, wit and laughter to end an extraordinary evening of theatre and song.
Adults $35, seniors $30, students $20.
All proceeds will go to Taranaki Health Foundation. Donations accepted on the day and options available when booking.
