Roger Hall, one of New Zealand’s most beloved playwrights, brings his trademark wit and warmth to Social Climbers. A group of female teachers, joined by a reluctant daughter, set off for a weekend of bushwalking in the mountains. When torrential rain and a washed-out bridge trap them in a hut for three days, the stage is set for laughter, tension, and unexpected revelations. This insightful comedy is a love letter to female friendship and a reminder of why Roger Hall is truly a national treasure.
