Auckland Theatre Company's production of playwright Roger Hall's Last Legs features a star-studded cast of New Zealand talent.

The Last Legs story begins with news that Bill English is to open a new wing of the Cambridge Retirement Village which sparks a revolution amongst its residents. Many want to turn on something special for him, while others are less enthused and plan to stage a protest.

Soon, new fractures appear along old fault lines, transforming the swanky facility into a hotbed of insurrection, intrigue and infidelity. Shenanigans ensue to the end when a vehicle suddenly blocks the driveway, and it's a hearse.

The cast includes Mark Hadlow (The Hobbit, King Kong, Nell Gwynn), Ray Henwood ONZM (Lord of the Rings, Heroes, The Crucible), Alison Quigan (Shortland Street, Calendar Girls, August Osage County), Catherine Wilkin (Mcleod's Daughters, Trees Beneath the Lake, The Importance of Being Earnest) and Jude Gibson (The Bittersweet Tears of Petra Von Kent, Grumpy Old Women, A View From the Bridget).
