Theatre Fundraiser Matinee at the Rose Centre Theatre, Belmont. Sunday, 16th August at 2pm
Peninsula by Gary Henderson: Directed by Kristof Haines.
Set on the Banks Peninsula, South Island, in the 1960’s. This is a warmhearted and open-eyed snapshot of life in New Zealand’s 20th century rural communities.
An insightful glimpse into the concerns, dreams and joys of childhood.
The story centres around Michael Hope, a young boy, who lives on a volcano. While geological rumblings may remain deep underground, unrest in the adult world threatens to erupt into his life, changing everything.
Peninsula is a bittersweet coming of age story, rich with Kiwi nostalgia, brought to you by 5 talented actors who play two characters each - one young and one older.
Price $25 per person, afternoon tea included
