Kiwi actress and writer Ellie Smith has been based in London for decades, but she's home for a project that's close to her heart. She's written and stars in a one-woman play called Life on a Loop, which draws on her time singing in care homes in the UK.
The play had a successful run in London, and will be at Auckland's Q Theatre from the 11th to the 16th of November. Ellie's had an incredibly varied acting career and received the New Zealand Order of Merit for her services to theatre. But this is the first time in 15 years she's walked the boards back home.
