Heretaunga Players latest show!
Hi everyone,
Here we are hard at work rehearsing for our next production “ Lockdown in Little Grimley”.
This is the fifth of the hugely popular Little Grimley series, which follows the antics of a hapless amateur dramatic society desperate for audiences.
In a time of lockdown, the Chairman Gordon calls an emergency meeting, complete with social distancing, to discuss his idea for their next production when restrictions ease - a touching love story set in a hospital, with all profits destined for the NHS. But based on their previous efforts, will the NHS actually end up worse off?
Show dates are Thu 4th May to Sat 13rth May and we have 2 free tickets to give away for opening night on the 4th. Simply go to our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/heretaungaplayers
like and share and you’ll automatically go in the draw.
Tickets can be purchased at Lockdown in Little Grimley (iticket.co.nz) The crew at Heretaunga Players look forward to seeing you at The Studio, 52 Ward Street.

THE POST FOREGOES ITS OWN TEAM
Wellington Lions (men's provincial rugby rep team) brilliantly won the Bunnings NPC last Saturday but The Post (Wellington's daily newspaper) has done absolutely no follow-up article/story in the days following the brief report on the Monday edition.
In fact the Auckland-based NZ Herald carried much more surrounding Wellington's success.
What use is this Wellington newspaper - the "great" amalgamated successor of the Dominion and The Evening Post which had presented a Trump-like lie in stating it was going to to be twice as good and as large as either of the two newspapers it derived from and with a smorgasbord of journalists.
Today it is a limp, dwindling, sometimes delivered soggy cut-down-to-comic-size newspaper that cannot even capture the essence of a stunning sports win by an outstanding team of Super Rugby and All Black quality players within its realm of distribution.
