A sneak preview from the Fortune Theatre’s latest show before it hits the stage.

Plus the chance to mingle afterwards, over a cup of coffee with some of New Zealand’s finest actors and directors.

Adrian and Alison plan their holiday in Italy down to the last detail but their best friends have dropped out.
Sharing their trip with newly-wed neighbours Harry and Judy, holds potentially disastrous consequences!

Saucy Reading – Lucky Numbers @ Dunedin Public Library

As part of our Saucy Reading session members of the public enjoyed a short excerpt from the current Fortune Theatre play ‘Lucky Numbers’

Winner of the ‘People’s Play Award’ in Newcastle 2007 Nana Connie Patterson is teetering on the brink of senility, forced to give up her own home and move in with her daughter’s family, where she is considered to be a bit of a handful. Until her lucky numbers come up on Lotto and she wins 8.2 million! Suddenly, Nana has regained some control and this is where the hilarity begins!

Saucy Readings – Jane Austen’s Emma at City Library

March 30, 2009 at 1:32 pm | In City Library, Events, Free Event, Library_News, Recent Updates, Saucy Reading, Website | Leave a Comment

Adapted by Michael Fry, directed by Lisa Warrington

Visit the City Library to catch a snippet of this fresh, sparkling theatrical adaptation of Jane Austen’s Emma.

Fancying herself as a matchmaker, Emma comically and shamelessly meddles in the lives of neighbours and friends, spoiling romances rather than improving them.
