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.

Conserve water where you can

Northlanders and visitors to the region are being urged to conserve water as a dry summer continues.

Northland Regional Council Chair Geoff Crawford says parts of the Far North and Kaipara Districts have been under water restrictions since late last year and the region has only got drier since then.
"That - coupled with an influx of the tens of thousands of visitors we’re expecting over Northland-Auckland Anniversary weekend and Waitangi week - all puts pressure on our water supplies."

Chair Crawford says the regional council, which monitors river flows, groundwater and manages resource consents to take water, is urging everyone to play their part and do what they can to conserve water.
"Water shortages affect everyone - albeit in different ways - with farmers and water tank users needing to pay to top up their supplies. That water has to come from somewhere."
"Rainfall is the key to it all...we've been hoping for it and while some areas have had some rainfall in recent weeks and some further rain is predicted in the coming week, unfortunately it has not fallen across the whole region and has not been enough to top up our rivers."

While the region waits for rain, Chair Crawford urges people to use water sensibly and notify any leaks to their local district council.

He says Bewaterwise.org.nz has some useful water saving tips.

The Azamara Pursuit was built in 2001 for Renaissance Cruises. As of August 2018, after a stay at the shipyard and extensive modernization, the ship cruises the world's oceans for the American cruise line. With a length of 180 meters the ship is similar to its future sister ships Azamara Journey and Azamara Quest and can also accommodate nearly 700 passengers. The Azamara Pursuit has all the amenities of a premium cruise ship and the comfort and facilities of a boutique ship. Due to the small size of the ship, guests can look forward to special destinations, long stays and overnight stops on many high-class cruises worldwide.
