Jenny Pattrick, one of Aotearoa’s most loved writers (The Denniston Rose) and director, Lyndee-Jane Rutherford (Prima Facie), present, HOPE, a family drama rising hot from within.

In the near future, a controversial government bill bars people with terminal illnesses from receiving treatment. Pianist Irina, a Ukrainian refugee, is cared for at home by her son with a dubious mix of natural and illegal remedies. When Irina’s feisty daughter returns from the war and a famous former pupil appears on their doorstep, hope and delusion blur together making us question the morality of fighting for your life and your loved ones.

On at Circa Theatre, 25 January - 23 February 2025.

I still feel that "Lucky Plant" or not they are a most gracious plant to have Inside (Refresh your Air) or on Apartment Decks (For those of you who live in Apartments) or any other situation. A nice Clay Pot should be considered. Maintenance, a little water weekly + bit of plant food now & again. If they should assume Beanstalk (Jack type) proportions just lop a few inches off the top. It does them no harm. They are a most tidy/Good Looking (Maybe Lucky for you we hope) Plant to have around and about. Single Plant $15.00 2 for $25.00 or 4 For $40.00. You pick and choose and if required I will dig up those in garden. "Fred" sitting on the chair photo is a Twin stem, he lives with us. Text Karen 0272904446/ L/L 8461074 we need to pass them on as their parents are now about 3metres high and I need to trim them back. Elp.
