SHAM - By Jess Sayer

Elizabeth Waite from TheatreWorks

SHAM: By Jess Sayer. Directed by Siân Davis.

March 24th - April 1st.
At TheatreWorks Birkenhead
Please note that some language and sexual references may offend.

Fern unexpectedly comes home and finds mum Meryl, who usually leads a quiet life, preparing for guests. Guests she apparently doesn’t want there, or for Fern to meet. Ever.

The guests are Fern's aunt Neva and Neva’s eccentric and mildly confused lover Ann. Fern has never before met these two let alone known of their existence. It’s time for the skeletons to come out of the closet.

NZ’s Jess Sayer, a multi-award winning playwright and actress currently writing for and acting in “Shortland Street” as Maeve Mullens, has penned a script involving sharp tongued quips and cutting humour.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
