Elizabeth Waite from TheatreWorks

SHAM: By Jess Sayer. Directed by Siân Davis.

Please note that some language and sexual references may offend.

Fern unexpectedly comes home and finds mum Meryl, who usually leads a quiet life, preparing for guests. Guests she apparently doesn’t want there, or for Fern to meet. Ever.

The guests are Fern's aunt Neva and Neva’s eccentric and mildly confused lover Ann. Fern has never before met these two let alone known of their existence. It’s time for the skeletons to come out of the closet.

NZ’s Jess Sayer, a multi-award winning playwright and actress currently writing for and acting in “Shortland Street” as Maeve Mullens, has penned a script involving sharp tongued quips and cutting humour.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
