END OF SUMMERTIME

After a sold-out six-week run at Circa Theatre in 2024, End of Summertime hits Palmy! Written by the legendary Sir Roger Hall, this comedy brings back rugby-loving Dickey Hart, a fan favourite from the late ‘90s hit Come on Black.

Now in 2023, Dickey has moved to Auckland with his wife Glenda to be closer to their grandkids. Navigating city life brings plenty of laughs, until COVID strikes, putting Dickey to the test. But in true Dickey style, he rallies—older, wiser, and still full of heart.

Starring Gavin Rutherford, who brings Dickey to life with humor and charm, this is another winner from Sir Roger Hall!
