- **Event Name**: In Other Words
- **Event Start and End Date**: Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 09:00 am – Thu, 21 May, 2026 at 10:00 am (+12:00)
- **Event Description**: In Other Words is coming to the Theatre Royal Nelson for a very limited season this May. 

Starring the acclaimed real-life couple Jennifer Ward-Lealand and Michael Hurst, this is a rare opportunity to see two of New Zealand’s finest actors share the stage in an award-winning two-hander.

In Other Words tells the story of Arthur and Jane, whose lifelong love is threatened by the gradual onset of Alzheimer’s. Connected by the timeless music of Frank Sinatra, this intimate, humorous and deeply moving story explores the effects of dementia and the transformative power of music to help us remember the past, reconnect with the present and hope for the future.

Written by award-winning UK playwright Matthew Seager, In Other Words has won four Moliere awards for its writing and its sensitive and respectful portrayal of Alzheimer’s.
