Nightsong head to Circa Theatre
After premiering in Auckland, Nightsong (Te Pō, Mr Red Light) are now at Circa Theatre until 30 September with I Want To Be Happy!
Binka is a guinea pig in a laboratory cage. Paul is the lab assistant who looks after her. Both just want to be happy again.
Humour and pathos collide in this blackly funny odyssey starring acting greats Jennifer Ludlam (as the guinea pig) and Joel Tobeck (as the lab technician).
“one of the most delightfully delicious pieces of theatre I have seen this year” – New Zealand Arts Review
On until 30 September, Circa One
Tues – Thurs 6.30pm, Fri – Sat 8pm, Sun 4pm

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
