Golden opportunity for Neighbours actor

Stephen Lovatt

New Zealand actor Stephen Lovatt, aka Max Hoyland on Neighbours, is coming home to perform The End of the Golden Weather.

Set in 1930s, the classic coming-of-age drama was written by New Zealand playwright Bruce Mason in 1951 and performed by Mason as a one-man show throughout the 50s and 60s. In 1991 it was adapted into a film, directed by Ian Mune.

Lovatt will perform a new version of the play, directed by Mark Clare and produced by Graeme Bennett, at the Herald Theatre, Aotea Centre, July 18 to 30.
