'Monument' On Sale at Circa Theatre
Sculpting the future of our nation
“Succession meets Barbie” -Showcase Victoria
Edith Aldridge is the youngest woman to be elected leader of her country. In a lush presidential suite, she has just ninety minutes to get ready for the most monumental day of her life. But things are not going to plan. Due to heavy fog, her team is stuck in another city. Enter Rosie, a twenty-two year old makeup artist from the David Jones counter, sent last minute to help Edith get camera ready.
From very different worlds, these two women, though face to face, do not see eye to eye in this provocative, slick and funny play that is “sparkling fresh and urgently of the now”.
The team that brought you PRIMA FACIE, brings you this dynamic new work that “explores the role that makeup and fashion play in how we perceive and receive women in power.” -review quotes from Arts Hub & Australian Arts Review.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
