Your Best Wardrobe, Your Best Self

Bea Lee-Smith and Tempest Theatre Co are proud to present Colour Me Cecily Tāmaki Makaurau edition! Upper Hutt, 1984. Bust out your shoulder pads and join Cecily as she discovers her true self, through the wonderful world of fashion and style guide, Colour Me Beautiful. Cecily has escaped to New Zealand from London, following her divorce. She befriends an eccentric group of women, intent on living life to the fullest, and finds fulfilment in ways she never expected. Cecily's journey takes some hilarious twists and turns as she navigates her way through the minefield that is 1980s Upper Hutt. Having premiered at BATS in 2018, Colour Me Cecily has gone on to have highly acclaimed seasons at Sydney Fringe, The Dowse Art Museum and TAHI, the New Zealand Festival of Solo Performance. Colour Me Cecily is now coming to Auckland for a series of dates from the 7-9 August 2025. The show was inspired by a childhood in 1980s Upper Hutt, being raised by fish-out-of-water immigrant parents. Bea had spent several years away from the stage, and wanted to create a fun piece with a cast of entertaining characters to bring her back to the boards. Director Hilary Norris saw the script's potential, and agreed to come on board in late 2017. She has a wealth of experience both as a director and as an actor, including working on a number of one person shows. Hilary immigrated to Dunedin from the UK in 1970, and related to the play's themes of finding a new tribe and identity. Rich with nostalgia and the joy of self-discovery, come let Cecily colour your world… The Loft @ Q Theatre 7-9 August 2025 $28-$35
