Three of New Zealand's most celebrated actors take centre stage in Auckland Theatre Company’s season of Two Ladies at Clarence Street Theatre from March 5-6.

TWO LADIES catapults two dynamic women into a high-tension global crisis.

Starring 2020 New Zealander of the Year Jennifer Ward-Lealand (The Seagull), Anna Jullienne (Mean Mums) and Rena Owen (Once Were Warriors).
