Finding Murdoch posterThe love­ly peo­ple at Down­stage have offered Welling­ton­ista-read­ers the chance to see the new NZ play Find­ing Mur­doch free next Mon­day or Tues­day.

Review­er John Smythe at theatreview.org.nz said of the show:

My part­ner loved it and rug­by is not her bag. But then it’s writ­ten by a woman about a wom­an’s desire to achieve and under­stand, and it’s direct­ed by a woman, so I should­n’t be sur­prised. Which isn’t to say rug­by ori­en­tat­ed blokes won’t like it too. Head­ing for the car (after the Mon­day 6.30 show) I bumped into Kei­th Quinn — of sports­cast­ing fame — and asked him if he’d just been to Find­ing Mur­doch. “Saw it on open­ing night,” he said. “It’s ter­rif­ic. You should go.”

There’s more about the show here, and we have 20 dou­ble-pass­es to give away to either Mon­day or Tues­day of next week. Sim­ply email theatre@downstage.co.nz with the word “Welling­ton­ista” in the sub­ject line, and the name of the All Black the play is about in the body of the email, and the mag­ic of time-stamp­ing will do the rest. First 20 are in.
