Taking Off, Sir Roger Hall’s wickedly funny comedy, trails four intrepid middle-aged Kiwi women as they set off on their big “OE” to Europe. It is now or never!!
The play is poignant, funny and sensitive. The characters are simultaneously terrified and exhilarated, but however they feel they are taking off.
Tadpole Productions has assembled a marvellous cast for this classic play;
Frankie (Jodie Dorday) wins second division Lotto and decides to leave her boring husband.
Ruth (Laura Hill) a hard working farmer’s wife, discovers her husband is having an affair with the sharemilker’s wife – so she takes off.
Jean (Darien Takle) is a loyal corporate employee made redundant after twenty years of service.
Noeline (Louise Wallace) has nursed her terminally ill husband for years and decides to do the trip they had planned together.
This great ensemble is directed by the experienced and talented Simon Prast, who brings out the quirks of the individuals, creating familiar and credible characters.
Cast off winter and laugh along with situations and characters we have all encountered.
