Mark Hadlow in MAMIL

One of New Zealand’s best-known actors, Mark Hadlow, returns to Hastings as the most polarising of species – a middle aged man in lycra: a MAMIL.

Bryan Cook is a property developer who has accumulated a small fortune building leaky homes. He’s stressed out, self-medicating and self-loathing; killing himself to increase his bank balance while decreasing his golf score.

When things fall apart, he joins a men’s cycling group to relieve the stress – and makes a few startling discoveries in various cracks and crevices.

Poignant and achingly funny, MAMIL presents the male mid-life crisis in all its lurid glory.
