The latest masterpiece
from Auckland
Theatre Company, already heralded as a New
Zealand theatre classic.
A crippled English woman arrives from London to a
savage land charged with civilising the natives, and
instead, discovers the key to her own liberation. Ann
Martin came to New Zealand in 1841, the young wife
of New Zealand’s frst Chief Justice.
Intrepid, intelligent and possessing a wry sense
of humour, she disregarded her personal disability,
set about learning Te Reo, established a makeshift
hospital for Maori on the beach at Judges Bay and
dared to dream of all that was possible in this brave
new world.
“An extraordinary story from our history…
surprisingly liberal, heart felt and funny”
on the upside down
of the world
