The Greatest Little Satirical Show in the Southern Hemisphere

"One in Five" is the title of this year's Capping Revue. The reference is to Dr. Fraser McDonald's recent comment that one in five New Zealanders are mentally ill. Significantly the number in the case is five, and the show may easily develop into a sort of 'Spot the Lunatic' competition. The choice is from Dave Smith, Roger Hall, John Clarke, Cathy Downes and Helene Wong. Smith and Hall co-produced and wrote the enormously successful 'Victorijuana' at the beginning of this term; they guarantee that this show although different in style will be just as funny. John Clarke, one of the mad geniuses from Knackers will contribute his own brand of lunacy, whilst for your delectation and delight the lovely Mesdames Downes and Wong have been held over from Victorijuana also.

There is no doubt that the Press will hammer the show, since one of the major skits is a lambasting of the two Wellington papers, so it looks like word of mouth will be the main advertisement. This means of course that people will be turned away from the last performance on the Saturday night (it always happens). However this time students will be able to book on the campus — for details see posters. Another innovation is that instead of the 8 o'clock performances on Wednesday and Thursday the show will begin at 10.30 to tie in with the Graduation ceremonies.

"One in Five" opens Monday May 3rd at the Memorial Theatre and runs until the Saturday.
