The Tutor

John Sellars is a self-made millionaire who figures that if money can’t buy happiness, at least it can keep his kid in line.

Nathan is a smart-mouthed fifteen-year-old who’s just been expelled from his third school this year.

When John hires a washed-out, Daihatsu-driving hippy to save Nathan’s maths grades, three opposing mind-sets go head-to-head in a comedy of (bad) manners, modern education and parenthood.

Acclaimed satire from the writer of Niu Sila and Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby.

Reviews:

"The Tutor is a breathless and hilarious exploration of the sticky parts of contemporary New Zealand culture. The Tutor ultimately challenges the depth of such [stereotypical] perceptions and prejudices in a thoroughly entertaining and icoloclastic way". - The Press

"...a fast moving, laugh a minute ride... driven by three wildly differing characters - has weight as well as slickness." - Theatre Review (read full review here)

"The Tutor – top marks for an above-average production. I for one would gladly go back for a second viewing and another opportunity to experience this astounding production." - Cityscape (read full review here)
