It’s been a while since we’ve done a free-play show, so we’re spinning old favourites, and talking at 1pm with Mark Bishop and Anna Baird, cast members of the Howick Little Theatre’s last production for 2023, Old Love, by comic playwright Norm Foster.
It’s described as ‘a timeless comedy about hope, broken hearts, rekindled romance, and how it’s never too late to take a second chance on love’.
Bud Mitchell, portrayed by Mark Bishop, is smitten with Molly Graham from the first time he meets her. Molly, played by Anna Baird, barely notices him.
And the trouble is, they’re both already married at the time. Nearly three decades later, the now-divorced Bud discovers that Molly’s husband has died, so he makes up his mind to finally convince her that they belong together.
Tracey Holdsworth is thrilled to be directing Old Love: “I have to admit, I’m a bit of a hopeless romantic, so the chance to direct such a wonderful romantic comedy about hope and the quest for love was something I jumped at.”
The HLT season of Old Love runs from November 11 to December 2, with tickets available at www.hlt.nz... or iTICKET on phone 09 361 1000.
East FM is East Auckland’s fair-dinkum community-powered public service radio station, on 88.1FM and 107.1FM on local frequencies, nationally and globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on app iHeart Radio.
She’ll Be Right - it’s all about the vibe; it’s all about the groove. – PJ

Hopefully, listeners will enjoy recollections of film history culture in a (mostly) Auckland and New Zealand context.
