Nicola Cheeseman is Back
About
"Do old dreams shrivel over time? Or do they crumble and rot? Perhaps they just sit patiently in a dark corner and wait..."Nicola wants her life back. Juggling middle-age, a failed marriage, elder care, children, and a thankless job, she's determined to shake up the life she never asked for and get back to being her best self. And step one on that journey will be re-assembling her former punk band, "The Cherry Slits"... 🤘🍒
Hic Sunt Dracones (HSD) proudly presents the South Island premiere of Kathryn Burnett's riotous play, "Nicola Cheeseman is Back" -- shortlisted for the Adam NZ Play Award 2023.
Starring the hilarious (and hot-as-blazes comedian) Harriet Moir. Featuring live music from Shannon Burnett (Six60 Scholarship recipient). Produced and directed by Kim Morgan. Designed by Matthew Morgan and Garry Keirle.
“Bring your mum, your nana, your daughter and your bestie because Nicola Cheeseman is Back is a story every woman will get, and every man should see.” [Theatreview]
“Nicola Cheeseman is Back is a f**king funny and wondrously observant play about not letting age get you down.” – Whiteside Entertainment
Content Advisory: laugh-out-loud funny and oh-so-relatable, this play also features bits of profanity and tackles some of life's more cringeworthy moments -- sex and ageing.
