Our second show of the year is Joan, the second play in Tom Scott's Ma & Da season presented by Giltrap Audi.

Joan is a poignant and enthralling love letter to a mother from an ungrateful son. Be swept along by the powerhouse Ginette McDonald, the comedic genius behind Lynn of Tawa, and her daughter Kate McGill, as old and young Joan respectively, in this play for the ages – a history of New Zealand and of one wonderful, wickedly funny woman whose delightful spirit will stay with you forever.

Performed with bravado and bravura by one of New Zealand’s most renowned actors, Michael Hurst, The Daylight Atheist probes at the broken heart of a family and reanimates it with comedy, pathos and charm. An unmissable Kiwi classic.

"Act two is devastating – brilliant. It’s what lifts this from being a very good play to being truly magnificent, a tour-de-force of acting and writing, the simple set working so perfectly as the spotlight moves between the actors."
