Description A heartfelt new comedy from New Zealand's best-loved playwright, Roger Hall, as he turns his sharp satirical pen on everyone's secret dread - the old folks' home.
Welcome to the Regina Rest Home where the old boys' network is alive and kicking with a retired QC, an ex-All Black, a former university Professor and a famous potter among the residents. Restless, irrespressible and determined to enjoy their twilight years, they declare war on illness, old age, guilty wives, greedy offspring and the quality of the catering!
With its endearing, quintessentially Kiwi characters, wry humour, astute observations and legendary one-liners, Who Wants to be 100? is vintage Roger Hall.
Stand by for geriatric hi-jinks as Hall teaches some old dogs a few new tricks.
