Coming up next - an adult play that proves that when chasing your dreams it helps to be a little crazy.

Jenni Murphy-Scanlon from Riverlea Theatre and Arts Centre

On next at Riverlea Theatre, your warm and friendly community theatre venue, is Cosi. Cosi is a terrific play about madness, illusion, sanity…and theatre.
Cosi explores a life lesson for Lewis, a young director who takes on the
task of directing a play with the patients who live in a mental hospital
in Australia in 1971. As his life is touched by these extraordinary
people and his operatic production (Cosi Fan Tutte) lurches forward, we
learn, along with Lewis, that when chasing your dreams it helps to be a
little crazy.

Add to this that the demanding piece of opera in Italian is going to be
performed by a cast who only speak English and don't sing! And you have
a wonderful comedy.

Please note that this play is suitable for mature audiences as it contains coarse language and sexual references.

Police apologise to rest home alleged theft victim after failing to act

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Police have apologised to a pensioner who caught a carer-turned-crook allegedly stealing cash, admitting there was more they could have done.

The about-face comes after the Waikato Times revealed the plight of rest home resident Lisa Allen, who set up a hidden-camera, capturing footage that appeared to show the caregiver opening her handbag and taking out a $50 note while the room was unattended.
