“Laced with quick, earthy and ironic wit.” -- Manawatu Standard.
Christenings, weddings, funerals – these women have sung at them all. But when a young parish priest arrives who’s determined to impress the Bishop, the first thing he does is sack the choir, striking more than a few sour notes. It’s drama on the high Cs! The choir try to stay together, booking themselves out as entertainment for stag parties and gorilla-grams, but it doesn’t make for harmonious relationships. Can they get back in tune in time for the festive season?
"The play's dialogue sparkles, laced with quick, earthy and ironic wit … Ladies for Hire is entertainment as in tune with the season as it is with the times." -- Manawatu Standard.
The Auckland premiere. By arrangement with Playmarket.
