OPERA HOUSE
“CHANG”
“Chang,” which has been amazing large audiences throughout New Zealand, opens on Monday' night at the Upera House. Before the most ancient civilisation arose, before the first city in the world was built, before man trod the earth—then, as now, there stretched across vast spaces of farther Asia, a great green threatening mass of vegetation—the jungle. Then, as now, man hacked his way in the jungle, defying Nature, braving the dangers of the wild beasts. Time and again, fields, towns, great empires were hacked out of the jungle. They are forgot-, ten. Always the jungle rose in wrath and swallowed them. Such is. the- tale of “Chang.” A story _ of man’s fight for existence, a fight that is life itself, stark, almost unbelievable. The little clearing becomes a home, the beasts are beaten off or killed, and then comes peace! For n day. . . perhaps for a month . perhaps a year? But not for long. Alan is the intruder, fighting the jungle. From the beginning until the end of time it stretches —th'e unconquered—the unconquerable.
