Hensteeth might refer to
Founded by Kate JasonSmith "following her attendance at a women's comedy festival in Sydney," Hens' Teeth Women's Comedy Company debuted just before Christmas 1988, breaking box office records for Wellington, New Zealand's Circa Theatre. A second season at Taki Rua Theatre (also in Wellington) early in 1989 had similar success. The company created several productions a year for 13 years, and then was largely dormant until 2017 when it returned to Circa Theatre as part of WTF! (Women's Theatre Festival), which ran between 14-25 March that year. JasonSmith has acted as producer throughout the company's existence. * Based in Wellington, New Zealand, the company toured throughout New Zealand. In 1992 it performed at the Adelaide Fringe Festival in Australia.The usual format involved a comic line-up that changed nightly, with some regulars and some "tryouts." It has been described as "a variety show consisting of a series of comedy sketches" connected with the comediennes' identity as women. Hens' Teeth's success has been attributed to its focus on things that are part of the fabric of most women's lives: sex, politics, aging, cooking, ambition, breastfeeding, men, opera, housework, dieting, childcare, self-defense, love, money, contraception, creativity, etc. The company's only major rule was that the performers' jokes should not come at the expense of men or minorities. * Each show was held together by a compere or M.C., with the most famous being "Mother Chook" (Leone Hatherly). The core cast of women included Dame Kate Harcourt, Lorae Parry, Pinky Agnew, Helen Moulder, Carmel McGlone, Sue Dunlop, Sally Rodwell, Madeline McNamara, Rose Beauchamp, Prue Langbein, Bub Bridger, April Phillips, and Darien Takle. * The company's name "pointed to the scarcity of female comedians" (Elliott) working professionally in New Zealand at the time. However, between 1987 and 2001 over 100 women performed with Hens' Teeth, including Ginette McDonald, Rima te Wiata, Emily Perkins, Cathy Sheat, Michelle Scullion, Ann Pacey, Riwia Brown, Ann Jones, Alison Wall, Pam Corkery, Perry Piercy, Nancy Fulford, Stephanie Creed, Vicki Walker, Donna Akersten, Jane Waddell, TV personality Chloe (Chloe Perovic), and Phylli JasonSmith. * Significance in New Zealand culture * Many of these women were recognizable figures before joining Hens' Teeth; for others, Hens' Teeth provided an opportunity to launch or develop their careers. For example, Helen Moulder and Rose Beauchamp developed a show called The Legend Returns, "which toured extensively around NZ (and to San Francisco), and is a popular audio available in the Radio New Zealand collection" ("Flights"). Moulder's part in the duo is an "aging diva" called Cynthia Fortitude; Beauchamp is Gertie, the long-suffering, generally mute, but piano-playing sidekick. In 2018 the pair developed a sequel to The Legend Returns, called Cynthia and Gertie Go Baroque, which takes as its starting point Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas....
