Meet Hugh.
A Welshman who came to New Zealand for his family's sake and is doing his level best to make it work. Slowly watching his marriage unravel, Hugh sees 1976 New Zealand like we couldn't see ourselves - just don't dare call him a Pom! Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Meet the woman behind Beryl.
Christina Cie plays Beryl, the beating heart of Room 133. A voice actor by trade, she's also training to be a dog trainer for epilepsy assistance dogs — and she has thoughts on why Beryl's phone obsession is still very relevant fifty years on. Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Meet Beryl.
Warm, capable, and consistently underestimated, Beryl keeps the office running and everyone in it sane. Behind the cheerful exterior and the coconut roughs from Mum, there is a woman with a private life that nobody knows about. Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Meet the man behind The Boss.
Albie Smith plays The Boss, and this one is special: recently retired and a lifelong sports fan, Albie says this could be his last show in Auckland before he heads north to the Bay of Islands. Hear him on the character, the play, and how he pitches it to his mates: 'Do you remember Gliding On? It's basically that, but a play.' Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. www.pumphouse.co.nz/glide

What did your school report say about you?
We asked our cast and director, Vikki. The answers were very on brand. 'Needs to stop talking.' 'Could do better.' 'Easily distracted.' 'Something of a procrastinator.' Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. www.pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Meet The Boss.
Fussy, anxious, and counting every cent until his superannuation kicks in, The Boss has never once bought his own newspaper. Defined by rules he can barely enforce and a reputation for keeping his wallet firmly shut. Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Meet the man behind John.
Zac Russell plays John, the office's sharpest tongue. Here he talks about the character, the play, and the 1990 Mazda MX5 in his garage that has cost him far too much money and still doesn't go. Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. www.pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Meet John.
Sharp, sardonic, and far too smart for his own good. John performs inefficiency as a kind of art form while quietly being the most capable person in the room. Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Unlike their characters, this lot actually turn up on time.
The brilliant team bringing The Government Store's Branch to life. Their characters have mastered the long lunch and the creative timesheet. Our cast have been rehearsing three nights a week and giving it everything. We're so proud of them.
Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. www.pumphouse.co.nz/glide

Meet the man behind Jim.
John Palmer plays Jim, and in this chat he covers the character, the play, and what he gets up to when he's not on stage — including selling w**e in Kumeu and an enviable video game habit. Roger Hall's Glide Time. The PumpHouse Theatre, Takapuna. 18 September – 2 October. pumphouse.co.nz/glide
