New Zealand playwright Roger Hall gained inspiration for his latest play while learning dances with Joanne Perry in Havelock North. Joanne is a keen member of the Israeli dance community, and helped Roger research dances for the play.
Roger was further helped by Ruth Ames and Bronwen Arlington, as he relates in an article about to be published in Folkdancers' Own (Folk Dance NZ newsletter). A preview of the article can be found here.
Do go and enjoy this play when it comes to your region, and take a friend or twenty:
