Hang on a Minute Mate
As part of New Zealand Theatre Month, Theatre Whakatane Inc Presents:
Hang on a Minute Mate
On Stage 6th-16th September 2018
This adaptation from Barry Crump’s stories Hang On A Minute Mate and There and Back, tells the tale of young Jack, and his adventures on the road under the guidance of the larrikin Sam Cash. Along the way, we meet the characters and scenarios that anti-hero Sam “helps”, as well as those who may not have had such good things to say from their experiences.
Filled with plenty of humour, and very Kiwi characters, this version, written by NZ writer Anthony McCarten and directed by our very own John White, is being put on as part of NZ Theatre Month.

He has this ability of instantly interpreting and extrapolating any verbal communication he hears. It may be due to the envelope over the structure, causing hydrogen-carbon helix patterns throughout. I'm comparing the molecular integrity of that bubble against our phasers.
