Engrossing homage to epic expedition – ‘Everest Untold'

Engrossing homage to epic expedition – AOTNZ tours ‘Everest Untold’ – July 2016

Part climbing experience, part history lesson and part personal revelation, Everest Untold gives “…the untold story all New Zealanders should know” about the 1953 Everest expedition in which Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay reached the summit of Mt Everest.

“This is a play truly for New Zealanders and New Zealand’s reputation abroad…I can’t tell you how informative it is, how entertaining it is and what a great evening it was at the theatre.”

Raymond Hawthorne, O.N.Z.M.

“…the ebb and flow of conversation …..is a perfectly pitched rhythm. They chat and babble over each other at times, then allow the ‘elephants in the room’ to breathe in knowing silence, maintaining absolute outward credibility in situ while allowing us to see their inner processing.” Kate Ward-Smythe, Theatreview
