Cleverly exposing the dynamics within a marriage, the New Zealand adaptation of the classic play by Norway's Henrik Ibsen, A Doll’s House, is set to make its Hamilton debut – playing for one night only at Clarence Street Theatre on Saturday 14th September.
Celebrated New Zealand writer Emily Perkins has created a masterpiece in her first work for the stage, exploring the social straitjackets we find ourselves in, and revealing how much – or how little – has changed since the Ibsen original premiered in 1879, with both being acclaimed by critics and audiences alike.
This production stars Sophie Hambleton, best known for her role as Carol O’Driscoll in TV3’s Westside.

Auckland Council has approved plans for over 34,000 homes in Drury and Pukekohe, but says transport must be sorted before construction begins.
Do you think transport and roading issues will be addressed properly before this proposed building? Will the development of new homes put a strain on the already congested motorway?

Pectin in the skins of apples increases IAP which is a digestive tract enzyme that reduces intestinal inflammation and intestinal permeability. It is also a prebiotic for feeding the good bacteria, it lowers fat and obesity, is good fibre, and boosts iron absorption.
The following recipe releases the pectin from the skin, and eaten daily improves gut health.
Wash apples, remove core and dice. Add water to about a third. Add some cinnamon, and some raisins for a bit of sweetness. Cook for about 8 to 10 minutes until the skin on the apples goes shiny. This shows that the pectin has been released. Eat about 4 tablespoons daily.
