Eight Months to Mars - Dame Kate Harcourt

She's our oldest working actor, as well as being one of our most-liked and most-respected actors. She came to theatre later than some, with a background in singing and dancing. Her career path didn't firm until she moved to Wellington in the late 1950s. Half a century on there's no word for retirement in her vocabulary as she embarks on another stage journey - one that chronicles part of her life - at Wellington's Downstage Theatre.
