What’s On? Last Legs

Roger Hall’s latest play ‘Last Legs’ is showing at Baycourt this afternoon. File photo.

Is summer here?

That was what many SunLive readers would have been wondering yesterday, as the skies cleared and the temperature soared.

The forecast today is for a slightly-cooler high of 18 degrees, with westerly breezes. So although it might not be beach weather yet, it might pay to dust off those jandals and start thinking about your summer wardrobe.

Regardless of the weather, there are still indoor events to enjoy. Among them is Roger Hall's smash hit Last Legs - a lethally funny black comedy about sex, death and politics with an irresistible appeal to the old and bold of heart.

When news that Bill English is to open a new wing of the Cambridge Retirement Village, a revolution is sparked among its residents. Though many want to turn on something special, others are less enthused and plan to stage a protest. Soon, new fractures appear along old fault lines, transforming the swanky facility into a hotbed of insurrection, intrigue and infidelity.

After a lifetime of smash hits including Glide Time, The Book Club and Taking Off, New Zealand's most popular playwright, Roger Hall, is back with a (cardio) arresting comedy packed with hypertensive hilarity.

The production from Auckland Theatre Company stars Louise Wallace (The Real Housewives of Auckland), Mark Hadlow, Alison Quigan, Ray Henwood, Margaret Mary Hollins and Catherine Wilkin.

Tickets to the 4pm show at Baycourt can be purchased here.
