Mums head along on Wednesday the 20th of November from 6:30pm and enjoy a night off for a catch up, Dads head along on Thursday night. If you're a solo parent, or a dual mums / dual dads household and need help finding a babysitter then sing out - we know lots of locals that'd be happy to help!

本剧改编自奥地利著名作家茨威格的同名小说。故事讲述了一位匿名女子对一名著名作家的深沉爱恋。女子从少女时期开始暗恋作家，并在多年间默默关注他的生活，甚至在短暂相遇后为他生下一个孩子。然而，这段深情从未被作家发现或回应。她在临终前写下了一封信，向作家倾诉了她一生对他的爱恋和痛苦。 这部剧是对文学大师茨威格的致敬，同时也是对人类情感的深刻探索。无论您是资深戏剧爱好者还是初次体验戏剧艺术，这部作品都将给您留下深刻的印象，提醒我们那些无声且看不见的力量如何塑造我们的生活。 The story tells of an anonymous woman’s deep, unrequited love for a famous writer. Starting from her adolescence, she secretly loves the writer, keeping a close watch on his life over many years, and even giving birth to his child after a brief encounter. However, her profound affection remains unnoticed and unreciprocated by the writer. Before her death, she writes a letter to confess her lifelong love and suffering. This play is a tribute to the literary master Stefan Zweig and a profound exploration of human emotions. Whether you are a seasoned theatre-goer or new to the art form, this production promises to leave a lasting impression, reminding us of the silent, unseen forces that shape our lives.

New Zealand’s favourite South African-New Zealander URZILA CARLSON has announced the New Zealand leg of her 2024 tour - JUST JOKES. According to Carlson, the show premise is simple. “Just Jokes is as it says on the label! Just jokes! Come for a show and leave with a sore face from laughing! Switch off and relax”, she said. A deadset fan favourite (quite literally), Urzila is now a three-time winner of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival's People's Choice Award for most tickets sold at the festival. She is also a household name in Australia and New Zealand, not least of all as a regular member of the panel show of Have You Been Paying Attention, Australia, 7Days, and the cult classic Taskmaster NZ. In 2024, she made her UK TV debut in 2024, appearing on QI with Alan Davies. An undoubted comedy workhorse, Urzila is currently at the top of her touring game. Urzila has sold out two tours of the United Kingdom and a European tour in the last twelve months. Urzila also managed to squeeze in a season at the prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs comedy festival in Montreal. And 2024 is already shaping up to be as big, with Urzila set to be heard in feature animation Ozi, lending her voice to the character 'Honkus' in the film alongside a star-studded cast, including Donald Sutherland, Laura Dern, Ru Paul, and Amandla Stenberg, produced by Leonardo DiCaprio. If that dance card isn't full enough, Carlson is now in the 4th season of her chart-topping podcast, 'That's Enough Already!' where she interviews comedians about what annoys them the most about themselves and others. Guests so far include Jimmy Carr, Sarah Millican, Julia Morris, Tim Minchin, Russell Howard and many more. Buy quick and buy early; Urzila Carlson is a guaranteed sell-out!
