THE WOMEN, directed by Janelle Bish, will play the Titirangi Theatre from 6th to 17th September.
Hugely popular when it was first staged and produced countless times ever since, this satirical comedy of manners is described as acidic, witty, lively, hysterically funny... addresses timeless themes of love, jealousy, friendship, social class and contrasting generational values.
