Laughs were plentiful on the May 9th opening night of Middle Age Spread at The PumpHouse. The classic Roger Hall comedy was staged by Tadpole Productions until May 19th - the run coincided with the Takapuna playwright's 80th birthday. 'A nostalgic snapshot of New Zealand in the 70s', the play takes audiences back to the days of bell-bottoms, big hair and cheese fondue and shares the mid-life crises of three couples who attend a dinner party they'd really rather not. A colourful hark back to a bygone era, brilliantly staged by this local theatre company - oh what a night!
