Court Theatre production, 2011

The Court Theatre's long-established premises in the Christchurch Arts Centre were destroyed in the February 2011 earthquake. The company was undaunted and this production, Five women wearing the same dress, appeared four months later. The Court relocated to Addington later that year and returned to the central city in 2025.
