A dinner, a relationship on the rocks, a séance gone awry, what could possibly go wrong?

Comedy-legend Ginette McDonald returns to Wellington’s Circa Theatre in Blithe Spirit, opening March 19th!

Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine. After too many martinis and a schemozzle of a séance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes.

After 18 years leading Auckland Theatre Company, director Colin McColl teams up with comedy-legend Ginette McDonald and a cast of award-winning actors for this refreshing adaption of Coward’s classic comedy.

Own your Online website is part of the New Zealand government's work to raise understanding of cyber security issues for individuals and businesses, they have shared a message about a new scam that is targeting Kiwis.

Own Your Online say:
We are seeing a significant increase in reporting of ‘Hi Mum’ scams.
A ‘Hi Mum’ scam is a scam where a random message from an unknown number is sent to you claiming to be from a close relative, usually your son or daughter.
The fake relative often claims their phone is broken – which is why they’re contacting you from a different number – and will ask you to do something, sometimes asking you to help them with a payment or to do something by clicking a link.

If you receive one of these, don’t click the links. Try to contact your relative using their normal number which is probably still working.
You can also report these scam messages by forwarding free to Department of Internal Affairs on 7726
