Meet Mac - the "wild front row joker who plays footy for Wellington". Played by Keith Leslie from Owaka, Mac is a soldier who joined up because he believed "we had to show what we could bloody do". It's that sort of guts and determination that helped NZ walk away from this conflict as a nation in our own right. Come and see Mac's story unfold amongst those of his brothers in arms. Once On Chunuk Bair by Maurice Shadbolt - a story not to be missed. A story not for the fainthearted. A story about the heartbreak of war. Opening in 24th April, 7.30pm, at the George Street Theatre in Balclutha.
