SYNOPSIS
A joyous new comedy from New Zealand's best loved
playwright.
Ned's life is just tickety-boo. Sure, he's adjusting to
retirement and life on his own, but he's very comfortable with his
lot, thank you very much. All that changes with his offer to sort
out the financial woes of Natasha, an attractive Russian immigrant.
A new world of possibilities opens up for Ned as he sees these
strange creatures called Kiwis through foreign eyes.
Packed with Roger Hall's trademarks of acute observation and
bucket-loads of humour, A Shortcut To Happiness is about
discovering the ways of a new country, accepting differences,
finding love and dancing your way to happiness.
"Roger Hall is back to delight us once again. There is a
clash of cultures and prejudices as a group of laid back North
Shore retirees confront the strict discipline of a Russian folk
dancing class. This is classic Hall - incisive, funny and full of
compassion." -Colin
