Fifty years on and still as funny as ever!
Celebrate a landmark occasion as Sir Roger Hall’s irresistible satire of office life, Glide Time (1976), returns to the stage in 2026 at Phoenix Theatre. Fifty years on from its debut, this sharp witted classic reminds us just how familiar the world of bureaucracy can be. Hall captures the foibles of public servants juggling the daily grind of memos, morning tea and promotion hopes, and somehow makes it wildly funny.
Originally a sell out theatre hit that touched a nerve in New Zealand’s 1970s public service, Glide Time became the basis for the hit TV series Gliding On. In this revival, Phoenix Theatre gives the piece a fresh lease on life while honouring its legacy. Expect a timeless ensemble of layered characters, razor sharp dialogue and laugh out loud moments that still resonate today.
Whether you once sat behind a desk or simply enjoy clever, character driven comedy, this anniversary production invites you to lean back, recognise the familiar and laugh along. Join us for a witty, warm hearted tribute to the people we work with, and the institutions we endure.
