Join us at The Vic this Sunday 28 September at 4pm for a special play reading of Shelter by Elspeth Sandy. Tickets just $20
A mother and son, out on a weekend tramp in the bush, are forced to take shelter during a storm. As the play unfolds, and hidden family truths are revealed, the tension generated by their strange surroundings fuses with the tension in their relationship to bring the action to a shocking climax.
There is a great cast - Alison Bruce and Joe Dekkers-Reihana and the reading is directed by Andrew Foster.
Elspeth’s stage play, The Body Politic, which had a first reading at the Vic two years ago, played to capacity houses at Circa Theatre last year.
Her latest novel - A Gap in Nature - will be published in November.

We’ll cover the grocery bills, so you can spend less time worrying about what’s in the trolley and more time enjoying who’s around the table.
And because life at Ryman means less home maintenance, you’ll have even more time for the things you love.

I'm planning to run FOUR MEDIA-BASED WORKSHOPS with an early November start. Dependent on interest, the workshops could be held IN-PERSON at my home near Devonport.
Or: ONLINE, through Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
The course will include free induction material. The workshops have been well-researched. I will have them peer-reviewed.
REFER TO THE ATTACHED PDF on what will be covered in the four workshops, and the cost of each, which is: $60 per workshop- I hope I've kept this as reasonable as possible in this current economic climate!
*NOTE* I'm open to the idea of people paying what fee they can fairly afford, instead of the set rate.
My background is as a sports freelance writer. I have been published by Stuff, the Herald and newsroom.co.nz (LockerRoom). I also teach English to second language learners.
I worry for the future of news, around issues of integrity and ethics...
My goal is that workshop participants will care enough about the subject of news to want to become active in protecting its value and trust. And for participants to perhaps consider becoming involved in the media field through freelancing or more.
Any questions, most welcome.
