SBZ Productions presents
WONDERFUL

One part drawing room farce, two measures of Love and a splash of the comedy.

SBZ Productions is delighted to announce that it will be staging award-winning Dunedin playwright Richard Huber’s latest play Wonderful at the New Zealand Fringe Festival.

Wonderful is the second in a planned trilogy of plays, the first being the nationally acclaimed 1930s screwball comedy “Glorious”

This two-handed ‘drawing room comedy’ is set in England during the witty and just a little bit notorious roaring 20s. Join us for this premiere tour as the divine Lady Hermione and her loyal butler Roberts cast aside the darkness, despair and bad poetry from the Great War and fall headlong into the brave new world of martinis, monocles, romance, and fountains; the starlight glittering on the water like diamonds. 

Wonderful asks the age-old question of all great love stories: What is the price of following your heart and are you willing to pay it? Where does Uncle Dickie keep the biscuits and what did the actress really say to the bishop? 

Huber also directs the piece, described by Theatreview as “diabolical cleverness,” and “a cracking conversational duel”;  Husband and wife acting duo Blaise and Sarah Barham “inhabit their roles with ease,” says Theatreview, “with the polished rapport that comes of working so closely together.” Both were nominated as Most Outstanding Performers for Two at Dunedin Fringe 2020.   

WHEN: Friday 17th February 2023, 7.30pm.
WHERE: Te Auaha – Tapere Nui
