The PumpHouse: Taking Off

Taking Off, Sir Roger Hall’s wickedly funny comedy trails four intrepid middle-aged Kiwi women as they set off on their big “OE” to Europe. It is now or never!

The play is poignant, funny and sensitive. The characters are simultaneously terrified and exhilarated, however they feel they are taking off.

Tadpole Productions has assembled a marvellous cast for this classic play – Jodie Dorday, Laura Hill, Darien Takle and Louise Wallace. This great ensemble is directed by the experienced and talented Simon Prast, who brings out the quirks of the individuals, creating familiar and credible characters.
