Top Dog Theatre is thrilled to have secured the use of Merivale Lane Theatre for this production, a part of NZ Theatre Month and also to perform as a part of the Christchurch Libraries NZ Theatre Month program.

With Jane Waddell’s stage adaptation of Kate De Goldi’s original prize-winning book, the work has already received wonderful reviews. Add in a set designed by Tony Geddes, lighting designed by Joe Hayes, an outstanding cast and Derek Doddington’s brilliant direction and you have a show that falls into the not to be missed category.

On Saturday mornings Perry and her father visit her gran, Honora Lee, at the rest home, but Gran never remembers them. ‘Who is that man?’ Honora Lee asks when Perry’s father leaves the room.

After movement class is abruptly cancelled, Perry is allowed to visit on Thursday afternoons. She discovers her Gran has an unconventional interest in the alphabet, so Perry decides to make an alphabet book with the help of Honora and the others.

Soon everyone is interested in Perry’s book project.

Meet the cast for a Q&A session on the play, Papanui Library, 11am Sun 2 Sep.
