As
a fundraising event for the Michael King Writers Centre, we are putting on a
performance of the play On the Upside Down of the World at The Victoria
Theatre in Devonport on Monday October 8, at 7.30 pm.
This
is a fantastic one-woman play, written by the Centre’s 2011 Summer Resident
Arthur Meek.
The
production has been staged by the Auckland Theatre Company with seasons in
Auckland and Wellington last year and great reviews. It is directed by Colin
McColl and stars Laurel Devenie. The play is based on Lady Ann Martin’s memoirs
‘Our Maoris’ and takes audiences inside the world of 1860s New Zealand. It’s
suitable for older children as well as adults and is part of the Auckland
Heritage Festival. Arthur Meek will attend the performance and the audience
will have the opportunity to meet him.
Tickets
are $30 for adults and $25 for students and can be bought by emailing Tania at
the Writers Centre (assistant@writerscentre.org.nz).
The Vic is a great venue and we tend to draw a full house, so get in quick!
I’ll be in Germany but my family are heading down for the evening.
