The Big Send-Up
A blight and biting satirical revue, promising something different and quite entertaining on the Gisborne stage, is due to open for a three-night season at the Boys High School Assembly Hall on July 10. A cast of 16 satirizes just about everything on the New Zealand scene, from politics to ballet — and with only one punch pulled! Bookings open today (by phone also) at the Boys High School.
The "La Sopopera" cast includes, from left, Stuart Tombleson, Ian Davis and Nigel Mackintosh doing their best!
This "lady" and her husband (Nigel Mackintosh and Rodney Tombleson) star in "Brittania Waives The Rules."

Rodney Tombleson gives the poetry world the run-around in this sketch, "I Wish I Was A Daffodil."
The second part of "La Sopopera" sees Stuart Tombleson copping the lot from Stephen Redpath.
A political T.V. interview ("elections are such hit and miss affairs") is conducted with a former Prime Minister (Stephen Jones, right) by announcer John Blackwood.
No satirical revue would be complete without a ballet, and this quartet "performs" the dance of the young goslings from "Goose Pond." From left, Stuart Tombleson, Ian Davis, Nigel Mackintosh and Kim Richardson.
