Overview
Following a sell-out season in 2011, the Auckland Theatre Company production, The Motor Camp, is returning to town. Enjoy the drama that ensues when two quite different couples and their teenagers arrive at a campsite to find they have little choice but to park their caravans next to each other. Expect plenty of laughs as the adults try to enjoy their holiday while also keep the hormonal teenagers apart.
Being a comedy you have to ignore the implausibility of the fact that academic Frank Redmond has chosen to finish his thesis on the teaching of phonics in the chaos of a motor camp and that his youngish wife Jude is experienced enough to be the Dean of the Arts Faculty at Victoria University. However, their typically sullen fifteen-year-old daughter Holly, who would way rather be with her boyfriend at The Mount, is all too amusingly believable.
In the next caravan is staunch Kiwi bloke Mike Hislop, his partner Dawn and her seventeen-year-old son Jared. Watch and cringe as the sporty, DIY-obssessed, bigoted contractor clashes with the clumsy, nerdy academic.
Written by the award-winning Dave Armstrong, one of New Zealand’s most prolific and popular playwrights, The Motor Camp promises to be a hilarious celebration of our summer camping rituals.
