Play Reading

Libby Boyd from The Victoria Theatre Trust

🌧️ Rainy Sunday plans? We've got you covered.
Join us at The Vic this Sunday 28 September at 4pm for a special play reading of Shelter by Elspeth Sandy. Tickets just $20

A mother and son, out on a weekend tramp in the bush, are forced to take shelter during a storm. As the play unfolds, and hidden family truths are revealed, the tension generated by their strange surroundings fuses with the tension in their relationship to bring the action to a shocking climax.

There is a great cast - Alison Bruce and Joe Dekkers-Reihana and the reading is directed by Andrew Foster.

Elspeth’s stage play, The Body Politic, which had a first reading at the Vic two years ago, played to capacity houses at Circa Theatre last year.

Her latest novel - A Gap in Nature - will be published in November.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
