Friday 11 September, 7–9.30pm
Join us for a special live show with the very talented Old Boy Mark Hadlow followed by a live Q&A with our drama students.
MAMIL 2: GOMIL (Grumpy Old Man in Lycra) written by Gregory Cooper sees beloved character Wayne back in the saddle and facing the toughest ride of his life. From the team behind Kiwi favourite MAMIL, this brand new sequel stars Aotearoa stage legend Mark Hadlow ONZM and is written and directed by Gregory Cooper.
A decade on, Wayne has hung up his work boots, his son has moved to London with the kids and his beloved wife Maggie has passed away. With his family gone and his purpose shaken, Wayne turns once again to the lads, the bike and the open road, searching for what comes next.
Equal parts hilarious and heartfelt, GOMIL is a warm, very Kiwi look at love, loss, ageing and friendship, with plenty of laugh out loud moments along the way. Grab your mates, your cycling crew or your dad and make a night of it.
