Dame Ngaio Marsh, in her autobiography Black Beech and Honeydew, wrote that Rosemary Rees was probably the first person to attempt to establish a permanent theatre company in New Zealand (144). As a young woman, Ngaio Marsh was a member of this theatre company in the 1920s and may well have been inspired by it when she later established her 'Commonwealth Theatre Company' in the 1950s. Although Rosemary Rees' company did not succeed, she was an important early player in New Zealand's eventually establishing its own theatrical identity.
