The New Zealand Players were one of New Zealand's first professional theatre companies, active between 1952 and 1960.[1][2][3] The company's director was Richard Campion, who with his wife and co-founder Edith Campion[1] were former members of the New Zealand branch of the Unity Theatre people's theatre movement.[2] Edith was a member of the Hannah family, and the company was funded by the Hannah Trust.[4]

Other members of the company included Raymond Hawthorne, Nola Millar, Nyree Dawn Porter, Barbara Leake, George Swan, Rosalie Carey, Thane Bettany and Raymond Boyce and Louise Petherbridge.[2][5][6]
