Win a double pass to Central Otago Man - A bungy-jump from a Central Otago bridge operated by a self-opinionated South Island farmer is the unlikely setting for Howick Little Theatre’s first production of the year. It’s the play’s premiere for Auckland and the North Island.
Central Otago Man, by Nelson-based playwright Justin Eade debuted in the South Island last year and HLT director Alex Gleed says it will be a “fresh and new” production to bring to the Howick stage.
The farmer who runs the bungy-jumping platform, Tryfen Gribilco, played by David Jaunay, has an opinion on just about everything which he shares with his high-profile clients, showing no signs of political correctness. His offsider Marty Ellings, played by James Adlam, brings some poignancy as he wrestles with the fact that his parents don’t take his dream to work in adventure tourism seriously.
The high-profile clients include, Robert Pilditch, played by Hamish Stevens, the over-bearing Australian Leader of the Opposition and his daughter Amanda played by Mazarine Ford. Mariane Rystygt, played by German Kiwi Sabine Melese is a frosty German United Nations delegate and her French PA is Pierre Mailisse, played by Rabindra Roy, a British Kiwi who speaks fluent French. A passing Dutch backpacker, Heidi Caneln is played by HLT administration manager Dominque Pritchard. Mr Gleed says he was lucky to find a cast so well suited to the parts.
The Auckland premiere of Central Otago Man plays at 8pm on February 27-March 19, with 2pm matinees on February 28 and March 6, at Howick Little Theatre, 1 Sir Lloyd Drive, Lloyd Elsmore Park, Pakuranga.
