This funny yet very touching play, at Dolphin Theatre in Onehunga from April 19, focuses on the daily lives of four men with various mental challenges, who live in a house under the watchful eye of Jack, a sincere, but increasingly despairing social worker.Their antics in trying to carve out lives for themselves will have you roaring with laughter, whilst at times evoking moments of compassion.

Ably directed by Barry Spring, the 5 main characters are played by Robert Gordon as Arnold, "basically a nervous person", Phil Adams as Lucien, "Spiderman's best friend" , Bruce Weston as Norman, "the donut smuggler", Andrew Allen as Barry, the young "golf pro" and Adi Staite as Jack, their lovable minder.

Join their birthday party, come on their midnight mouse hunt, meet their neighbours and girlfriends, discover the magic of the keys, learn the alphabet, wait for the train to Russia and, most of all, have a completely wonderful night out.

A heart-warming and rewarding play definitely worth seeing!
