TWO LADIES - Deliciously deceitful political drama
Three of New Zealand's most celebrated actors take centre stage in Auckland Theatre Company’s season of Two Ladies at TSB Showplace from March 20-21.
Two Ladies catapults two dynamic women into a high-tension global crisis. While their husbands, the Presidents of the United States of America and France, cross diplomatic swords, the real fireworks are down the hall, where bloodied Sophia and world-weary Hélène are trapped together, distrustful of their husbands and each other.
Starring 2020 New Zealander of the Year Jennifer Ward-Lealand (The Seagull), Anna
Jullienne (Mean Mums) and Rena Owen (Once Were Warriors).
