Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

Roger Halls Sparkling Comedy Social Climbers

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.

Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.

Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

Hi folks,
Our joint (successful) action has helped propel fresh initiatives which will assist neighbourhoods resist the scourge of Liquor Stores "invading" our communities in future.The news snippet below highlights certain progress on this matter:
www.tvnz.co.nz...
It was often said during our campaign that we could never successfully fight through a process which was deeply flawed - but they didn't reckon on a co-ordinated and determined group like the Harewood residents!
We proved an involved community can succeed BUT it wasn't easy and communities need access to resources to fight the wealthy liquor industry.
There is no doubt our efforts resonated and we need these initiatives for Community Law involvement to work and be cemented into place.
Thanks folks for all the support - we are in this together.
Kind regards
