Based on a true story, the play speaks of a divided world where faith is more powerful than fact and shame drives a hard bargain. The fictional injection of real Indian scientist Chandra Bose, whose world-leading research into electricity was ahead of its time, gives an Indian Ink twist to the telling. Welcome to the Murder House features comedy, puppetry, live music, song and dance to entertain and delight whilst recounting a powerful, tragic and moving tale.
Jacob Rajan returns to the stage with a stellar cast, in Indian Ink’s biggest ever extravaganza. Experience a night of naughty fun that will leave you to decide who the real villains are.
26 May – 10 June

Come and hear Dr Aleisha Ward, the 2017 Douglas Lilburn Research Fellow, explore facets of ‘jazz’ in New Zealand’s Jazz Age. Contrary to popular belief, 1920s New Zealand was not a quiet, staid society that ‘closed at 5’. Hear about, a flourishing, vibrant, urban landscape and a burgeoning jazz scene.
New Zealand's 1920s burgeoning jazz scene
The 1920s were a period of musical and cultural turmoil around the world. In cultural histories of New Zealand, much of this is absent. In fact, reading many of these histories you might wonder if New Zealand even had jazz, let alone a Jazz Age.
Dr Ward will explore facets of ‘jazz’ in the Jazz Age, including how:
jazz as both music and dance, were imported and propagated in New Zealand
jazz was conceived of extra-musically, and
the extra-musical concepts of jazz affected New Zealand society in the inter-war period.
About the speaker
Dr Aleisha Ward is the 2017 Douglas Lilburn Research Fellow and a recipient of the 2018 Ministry of Culture and Heritage New Zealand History Research Trust award investigating the Jazz Age in New Zealand.
Aleisha is an award-winning writer, freelance editor, and lecturer in music history. She writes about jazz in New Zealand for a number of publications including audioculture.co.nz, New Zealand Musician and on her own blog NZ Jazz.

Take some time to come and see The Topp Twins exhibition in the main gallery of the National Library, Thorndon.
The Topp Twins — playful, powerful and political
Synonymous with small town, rural New Zealand and that Kiwi “can-do attitude”, Lynda and Jools Topp are among New Zealand’s best-loved entertainers. They’ve been cultural touchstones for more than 40 years, their playful, powerful and political creative work continuing to resonate with a broad audience across generational and political divides.
Whether it’s as Camp Mother and Camp Leader, the Gingham Sisters, Westie girls Raylene and Brenda, posh socialites Prue and Dilly or the Kiwi bloke and townie combo of Ken and Ken, the Topp Twins continue to champion the communities and causes near and dear to us.
Celebration of things that unite us
This exhibition is a celebration of the things that have shaped us as a nation, and the spirit and values of the things that unite us rather than divide us.
Key themes explored in the exhibition include:
•family background
•creating the Topp Twins characters
•the Topp Twins contribution as popular musicians and entertainers
•political activism
•freedom and inclusion
•LGBTQI empowerment and achievements.
What you can see and do
The exhibition offers archival footage, writing, objects and documents from their comprehensive archive to illustrate and embody a lifetime of creative work. Introductions to each segment are bi-lingual.
Audiences can engage and participate in a variety of hands-on interactive activities. These activities highlight the creative political activism used by the Topp Twins, and offer audiences the opportunity to express their own thoughts and opinions.
Exhibition developed by an award-winning team
Developed in heartland New Zealand by the award-winning team at Te Manawa Museum in Palmerston North, The Topp Twins exhibition offers an exciting opportunity to celebrate the outstanding contribution these inspiring women make to our nation’s social, cultural and political landscape.
