"CHERISH " is an award-winning drama from one of New Zealand’s foremost playwrights. It’s a story of the interpersonal conflicts between two couples and the children they share.
It looks at what happens when good intentions run up against the hard realities of human need.
Director Sian Davis directed a full production in 2011 because she was taken with its “immediacy, its intensity, its beauty, its tenderness. I truly believe it’s a genuine NZ classic”.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
