From First Up, 5:31 am on 9 December 2020

The comedian George Burns said "You can't help getting older, but you don't have to get old." That saying is very relevant to the Hen's Teeth production at Circa Theatre in Wellington of The Older, The Better starring three powerful women in their 90s. Actor Dame Kate Harcourt, 93, former director and now comedian Sunny Amey, 92 and harmonica virtuoso Coral Trimmer the youngster at 90 are presenting a review, a variety show of sorts delighting audiences through until the 20th of December. Producer Katrina Batten asked Paekakariki-based Coral and Sunny about how they got involved.
