After a sold-out six-week run at Circa Theatre in 2024, End of Summer Time hits Palmy! Written by the legendary Sir Roger Hall, this comedy brings back rugby-loving Dickey Hart, a fan favourite from the late ‘90s hit Come on Black.

Now in 2023, Dickey has moved to Auckland with his wife Glenda to be closer to their grandkids. Navigating city life brings plenty of laughs, until COVID strikes, putting Dickey to the test. But in true Dickey style, he rallies—older, wiser, and still full of heart.

Starring Gavin Rutherford, who brings Dickey to life with humour and charm.

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom

I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers.

There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
