That I Theatre Company proudly presents 'Welcome To Hellansville', a hilarious yet thought-provoking one act play written by James Carrick and directed by Liz Cannon. This dark comedy premieres at The Rose Centre, Belmont as part of the 2022 Auckland Fringe Festival.
Hilarious and highly tongue-in-cheek musings abound, with 'Hellansville - the chance of an after-life time' offered as a solution to the issues faced by Heaven, Hell and the world in general; overcrowding, all the wrong souls and far too many vegans...
Heaven and Hell need a re-set. Overcrowding has reached critical mass in both after-life options, so a more selective approach is urgently required. As undecided souls can no longer be accommodated in Heaven or Hell, God and Satan have collaborated on a new project to remove the non-believers from their respective operations. Hellansville is a shiny, new development designed to meet the needs of an increasingly secular society who have shuffled off this mortal coil but have nowhere to go. Before the project goes live, the top representatives from both sides meet to discuss the issues at hand; Michael the effortlessly cool Archangel and Malphas a powerful demon in a crumpled suit. Together they thrash out the details of Hellansville under the watchful eye of the mysterious Maureen.
Enter Robert, the recently deceased guineapig. All Michael and Mal have to do is sell Robert the Hellansville dream. All Robert has to do is sign up for the deal of an ‘after’-life time. All Robert has to do is believe. A tough ask for a cynical, stubborn atheist.
Starring Jimmy Carrick, Ben Plummer, Suzy Sampson and Duncan Preston, the play delves into one of humanity's darkest questions, "Where do we go when we die?" Join the Angel, the Demon and the Atheist as they battle with their varying opinions on what is, what was and what could be, all under the watchful, omnipotent eye of the mysterious Maureen.
'Welcome to Hellansville' will be performed at The Rose Centre, Belmont, North Shore on Wed 14th, Thurs 15th and *Fri 16thSept 2022 at 8pm. *The final show will include a post-show cheese and wine event where you are invited to a Q&A session with the writer and director.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.9% Other - I'll share below

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Auckland has a thriving cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures across the country, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
