Play Reading
🌧️ 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.

Government targeted relief
My sister is a Pensioner living in Wellsford. She has an appointment at North Shore Hospital tomorrow afternoon at 2.45pm. The 160km round trip would cost about $50 which is too expensive. Instead, she will be taking a free shuttle leaving from Wellsford at 8am tomorrow, so will have almost 6 hours wait at hospital . It is not only families with children who are struggling. I do understand that not everyone can be accommodated in the relief, but just saying.

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 ⚖️
