Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Octagon Theatre presents 12 ANGRY JURORS - March 6th to 22nd

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Come to Octagon Theatre's latest production!

12 ANGRY JURORS
By Sherman L. Sergel
Directed by Tracey Lawson

From March 6th to 22nd at the Octagon Theatre, 13 Aubrey St, Regent.

This is a taught courtroom thriller, where all the evidence has been presented and the jury is now locked away to decide if a young man is guilty of killing his father.

What looks to be an open-and-shut case of murder slowly morphs into a mystery to be solved as a series of clues begin to create doubt amongst some members of the jury.

On top of that, each of the jurors' have their own prejudices about the young man being accused (as well as each other).

The young man swears he's innocent and these 12 strangers have his life in their hands. One thing is certain. No one leaves the room until his fate is sealed.

Tickets on sale now at octagontheatre.nz...

Show only: $30
Show with Lunch: $50
Show with dinner: $60
