Give Way the Musical - opens this weekend!

Marketing Manager from Circa Theatre

Look left, look right, look out!

Give Way – The Musical is an award-winning, hilarious satire of Kiwi attitudes. It tells the ‘unofficial’ story behind the 2012 change to New Zealand’s Give Way rule. Sophie – an idealistic young Ministry of Transport employee with a secret admirer at the next desk – wants to change the world. She starts with the country’s bizarre Give Way rule, knowing a change will make our roads safer. But she attracts a groundswell of opposition in the form of a ‘Resistance’ protest movement, who believe Sophie’s rule change will destroy the lives of decent, hard-working New Zealanders. What follows is a battle for the nation’s soul. With sharp-witted songs and hard-case characters, this charming musical is both entertaining and thought-provoking.

Review: ‘Hilarious and unique – an inherently Kiwi story with a universal message.’ Winner 2023 McNaughton South Island Play, Adam NZ Play Award, 2023

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
