A Vote for Cynthia

Actor Helen Moulder, known for touring her one and two person plays around the country, is to visit Highwic again with her solo comedy show, A Vote for Cynthia. Helen is one of New Zealand’s best known actors, she has twice been Best Actress in the Wellington Theatre Awards and has performed in over 100 venues throughout the country – theatres, community halls, art galleries, libraries, private homes, churches, even woolsheds.

A Vote for Cynthia features her well-loved comic character Cynthia Fortitude. “Cynthia is a fading opera singer who badly wants to be Prime Minister, so is launching a new political party with lots of rather impossible policies, mainly to do with music to appeal to the female demographic and rugby to appeal to the men,” says Helen.

Helen developed the character of Cynthia Fortitude twenty years ago in the women’s comedy troupe Hens’ Teeth and her first show, The Legend Returns, with accompanist Gertrude Rallentando, played by Rose Beauchamp, has toured widely and is often heard on National Radio, and in fact is one of RNZ’s most popular requests.

"Face the Future with Fortitude" is the slogan for Cynthia’s new party and the one hour 10 minute show promises an evening of song, wit and laughter.
