Circa, Friday 22 July to preview Wednesday to Come.
Tickets $40.
About the play:
Four women. Four generations. One whānau. As the 1930s Depression threatens to tear New Zealand’s working class apart, four generations of a single family must confront a personal crisis when the husband and father dies in a relief camp. Erina Daniels directs a poignant new version of a national theatre classic.

'Wednesday to Come' was described as ‘a major triumph’ by The Dominion when it premiered in 1984 and has been studied by students across the country ever since. Jane Waddell, who originated the role of Iris and played Mary in 2005, will visit the play again - this time, as Granna.

For the first time in its production history, 'Wednesday to Come' is retold through the lense of a Māori Pākehā whānau. Underlined with a rich vein of earthy humour, 'Wednesday to Come' is a powerful statement and passionate celebration of the contribution women have made to the evolution of Aotearoa.
