Do you know who's in this photo?
In the late 1950s, a Christmas play was put on at Christchurch Hospital, when the chapel was very much part of hospital life.
Alison Whitelaw (née Craw) has shared this lovely photo. Can anyone identify any more of the cast?
Identified so far:
Barby Barclay (née Rix-Trott) is a shepherd on the left - with staff and bare shoulder.
Jenny P. Smith is below Barby.
Alison Whitelaw (née Craw) is below Jenny.
Robin Cormack (Latter) is a Wise Man standing nearest the Altar on the left.
Teresa Donald (O’Donnell) is Mary.
Lynette Weir (Brown) is the Angel on the left, back row.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
