ORT offers dirty weekends

Dirty weekends will be available at Maungaturoto in March. 

Actually, it’s the play Dirty Weekends, opening on March 15 at Otamatea Repertory Theatre.

Rated as good family entertainment, the play by Roger Hall and Philip Norman uses humour and music to show how gardening and relationships can intertwine.

“The dirtiest things in the play are the tomcat and the compost heap,” says director, Alister Williams. 

A diverse cast from Waipu, Maungaturoto, Kaiwaka and Ruawai will take the stage.

Both tomcat, Haydn Dyer, and Burmese, Elizabeth Harris, have strayed from near Kaiwaka to be in the show.

Musical director, Warwick Simpson, has been promoted from kumura farmer to yuppie financier for the show, on top of his musical duties.

Tickets are available at www.ort.org.nz or at Tony’s Lotto Shop in Maungaturoto.
