Jennifer to direct The Last Five Years
Jennifer will direct Tyran Parke and Cherie Moore in Jason Robert Brown’s contemporary song cycle The Last Five Years for Last Tapes Theatre Company at the Herald Theatre, 1-17 March 2012.
This thought-provoking show tells the story of Jamie, a promising young writer in New York, and Cathy, an actress waiting for her big break. The Last Five Years sees them share the story of their relationship--Jamie starting from the moment they first meet, and Cathy beginning her story at the end of their five years together. Their storytelling is powerfully honest, funny, and at times heartbreaking.

Watch it on TVNZ OnDemand.
