Frank and funny conversation about life in the theatre
At his own admission it took Roger Hall fifteen years to be an overnight success.
Fellow playwright Renée feels her life in theatre is like having ‘wandered into a Beckett play and forgotten the plan’!
Formidable playwrights Roger and Renée come together for a frank and funny conversation about their lives in theatre to help us celebrate the inaugural New Zealand Theatre Month.

The conversation will navigate the satisfaction and uncertainty of their chosen life, the pleasures and horrors of seeing one’s own work performed, directing or not directing one’s own work as well as all manner of terrifying and exhilarating aspects of theatre.

Be privy to the inner world of New Zealand theatre through the experience of two of our most revered playwrights.

Māori theatre photographs and ephemera spanning 1960s to the 2000s
Images of a young Jermaine Clement, Taika (Cohen), Rachel House and Cliff Curtis feature among a selection of photographs and theatre ephemera in a display of Māori theatre productions and practitioners. The material spanning the 1960s to the 2000s will screen in various locations across the library to celebrate New Zealand’s inaugural Theatre Month.

Originally compiled for the 2015 National Māori Theatre Hui
From the Photographic Archive and Ephemera Collections of the Alexander Turnbull Library these photographs and theatre posters were originally compiled for the 2015 National Māori Theatre Hui. Primarily from the Evening Post and Dominion Collections the selection features many of New Zealand’s most celebrated theatre practitioners; Inia te wiata, Elizabeth Murchie, Briar Grace-Smith, George Henare, the Māori Theatre Trust, Taki Rua productions, Don Selwyn, Rowley Habib, Nancy Brunning and Jim Moriarty.

More photos, recordings and oral history in the collections
The display features a very small selection from the Turnbull Library’s Photographic Archive which holds around five million prints, negatives, transparencies and other photographic formats.

The Library also has an Oral History and Sound Collection and there are more than 10,000 recordings — including iwi and hapū oral histories.

Hi neighbours – Loud Shirt Day is coming up in September and it's time to use your power of LOUD for GOOD.

Izabella was born profoundly deaf and in the four years following her diagnosis, her parents' emotions of shock, being scared and overwhelmed have turned to amazement, surprise and hope - all thanks to Izabella's progress as a hearing and speaking child.

Izabella loves to sing and dance, she enjoys gymnastics, bike rides and playing with her older brothers. What are her superpowers I hear you ask? She's fierce, adventurous and caring!

Register to fundraise and help deaf children like Izabella listen and speak. You can also donate here on Givealittle. Thanks for your support!
