N.Z. play for a London season
PA Auckland “Ladies’ Night,” a New Zealand play about male strippers, has been booked for a season in London. The British stage producer, Michael Codron, said the play was due to open at the Mermaid Theatre in September after a four-week run at the Oldham Theatre, near Manchester. It will be the first play written in New Zealand to be presented on the Lon-
don stage since Roger Hall’s “Middle Age Spread” ran for a year in the late 19705. The news has thrilled the authors of “Ladies’ Night,” Anthony McCarten and Stephen Sinclair, of Wellington. Both writers realise the London season depends on the success of “Ladies’ Night” in Lancashire. “We’re pretty confident,” McCarten said. “The play has got this far so we think it’ll keep going.”
