      Taking Off - Unity Theatre
       16 September - 20 September

Taking Off is a poignant, touching, sharply funny and insightful tale from New Zealand's favourite playwright, Roger Hall.
This is the story of four women, who set out (perhaps a little later in life than most) - on their big OE. Frankie, a teacher, wins Lotto, ditches her husband and is off to re-create herself. Noeline, a nurse who spent years looking after an ill husband, needs R&R. Ruth, a farmer’s wife, leaves her husband after she discovers his affair with a share-milker. Jean sets off with her redundancy payment after the death of her closest friend. Dreaming of romance and the exotic, it’s now or never for these flying Kiwis.  The travel adventures of these four will resonate for anyone who has ever “done” Britain.
Tickets will be on sale from the beginning of September for $22 at the Museum counter.
No passport necessary.
