Peninsula – A Play by Gary Henderson

In the 1960s, ten-year-old Michael Hope lives at the edge of a vast, ancient volcanic crater now known as Akaroa Harbour. His world is one of maps and adventures, hills and bush, sparked by a new teacher’s encouragement. But life in a small community can change quickly. As tensions rise in the adult world, Michael’s childhood landscape begins to shift in ways he could never have imagined.

Set against the beauty and power of the New Zealand landscape, Peninsula is a heartfelt, finely crafted story about innocence, change, and the moments that shape us.

Written by acclaimed playwright Gary Henderson and directed by Greg Davis, this award-winning New Zealand drama is brought to life by a talented local cast.
