Following its sell-out, award-winning and critically-acclaimed 2015 Auckland Arts Festival season, the show that beguiled and inspired audiences of every kind makes its Taranaki debut.
The Book of Everything plays for two nights at TSB Showplace on March 4 and 5.
This stage production of the children's story by Guus Kuijer features some of New Zealand's best acting talent, including actress Jennifer Ward-Lealand.
The Stratford Press caught up with Jennifer to find out about her familial connection to Taranaki.
"My great, great, great grandparents, John and June Loveridge, sailed on the Timandra in the 1840s to Taranaki from the UK and the family settled in Taranaki."
