'In Other Words' now on sale at Circa Theatre
Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Michael Hurst star in the award-winning two-hander, In Other Words.
Starring the acclaimed real-life couple Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Michael Hurst, this is a rare opportunity to see two of New Zealand’s finest actors share the stage in a two-hander for the first time.
In Other Words tells the story of Arthur and Jane, whose lifelong love is threatened by the gradual onset of Alzheimer’s.
Connected by the timeless music of Frank Sinatra, this intimate, humorous and deeply moving story explores the effects of dementia and the transformative power of music to help us remember the past, reconnect with the present and hope for the future.
“We’re both going into this show with a huge amount of enthusiasm”, says Jennifer Ward-Lealand. “I’ve had some beloved family members and friends head down this road. It’s pretty devastating and a lot to carry for loved ones.” “We’re all in this together,” adds Michael Hurst.
Written by award-winning UK playwright Matthew Seager, In Other Words has won four Moliere awards for its writing and its sensitive and respectful portrayal of Alzheimer’s. Off the back of an equally successful New Zealand premiere during World Alzheimer’s Month in September 2024, it’s one not to be missed.
