Where There's A Will

Synopsis:
Internationally successful expatriate Kiwi actor James Moody (John Marwick) has had enough of playing Tolkien characters for Sir PJ and manifesting fantasy creatures for JC and others (all highly confidential, of course). He feels the need to 'come home', to live theatre, Shakespeare, New Zealand. But will this project fill the bill? Retired school teacher Barry Scanlan (John Smythe) dreamed of being a professional actor once but opted for teaching instead. Over the decades he has seen many high school students through Shakespeare Globe Centre NZ's annual Sheilah Winn Shakespeare Festival, some going on to careers in theatre. Could this project be his chance to finally realise his dream? MTA (directing) student Dita Fox (Neenah Dekkers-Reihana) knows what she wants and needs but can she find it with James or Barry? And where is she? What's she up to with her idiosyncratic process? With the help of Shakespeare's word power, imagination and perceptions of humanity, this gentle, funny and touching story, set around an unlikely theatre audition, explores the importance of human connection.
