You can take the cockie out of the country, but the manure remains when Dickie Hart sells up the back-country farm and moves to the city for some culture!

Terracotta pots and a home described as “Mediterranean”, Dickie finds himself like a fish out of water, floundering in a crowded street, with no vegie garden, no dogs, and not a thing to do.

He finds himself coaching a rugby team filled with kids he can’t pronounce the names of; he dabbles in amateur dramatics, gets friendly with the neighbour and – in the absence of his wife Glenda, belatedly taking her OE – even attracts the odd dinner date.

Suddenly Dickie is no longer a spectator in the game, he is a participant. Roger Hall lets Dickie loose on everyone from real estate agents, to talk back hosts.

When Dickie joins the chorus of an amateur theatre group proves there is not only life after a world cup, there is life after dark as well.

Now Dickie Hart, New Zealand’s greatest fan, is going to get some fans of his own. Join Dickie’s fan club now and organise a booking for this fabulous comedy.
