Anthony Harper Summer Theatre
Set sail on the high seas this January for the 2025 season of Anthony Harper Summer Theatre. ‘The complete voyage of the RMS Titanic in 90 minutes’ will bring you a titanic twist on this iconic tale.
Climb aboard this irreverent retelling of the iconic voyage of the RMS Titanic, set locally in Ōtautahi Christchurch. Anthony Harper Summer Theatre brings you a playful spin on a classic story, against the stunning backdrop of the Christchurch Botanical Gardens.
Expect to explore history, unpack conspiracy theories and relive your favourite moments from the movie – as there was totally room for two on that door!
Local theatre company Rollicking Entertainment invite you, the audience, to immerse yourself in the world of the RMS Titanic’s first journey. Three of Christchurch’s top improvisers will surge through the stories and lives of all aboard. All accompanied by a live musician on deck with a dramatic music score that’ll ensure this play is the king of the theatrical world.
Anthony Harper Summer Theatre is free to attend, but koha donations will be gratefully accepted by Rollicking Entertainment.
Audiences are encouraged to bring chairs, picnic blankets and food to enjoy during the show, whether it be economy or first-class-level dining.
All ages are welcome, although these shows are best enjoyed by ages 12 years and over.
A huge thanks to our friends and partners at Coast.
