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.

We booked the tickets in June and were very excited at the thought of seeing “our friend” Sarah whose occasional “basic “ humour we can readily accept and laugh at because it is part of her and her skill at delivering it is stunning. We have built up a relationship with her over the years.(thanks to you tube) and she has earned our presence and our money !
So……in came Sarah……Yay ! Big smiles from us and a warm feeling that she is actually here in Nelson !
5 minutes later she had gone, after introducing a support act, which was the first we knew about there being one….another female comedienne, except she wasn’t. She was a vulgar shocking untalented assault on our senses.She also shouted over the microphone.
When Sarah returned we found it difficult to open up to her after having clammed up to protect ourselves.
How can this happen ? An untalented and inappropriate person with a very specific following if any, has a ready made captive audience ?
I am wondering how this goes with trade description rules……anyone know ?

Mount Wellington firearms incident

Three people have been taken into custody following a firearms incident in Mount Wellington last night.

At about 8.40pm, there was an altercation between two groups of people outside a restaurant on Lunn Avenue before the parties separated and got into two vehicles.

Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin, of Auckland City CIB, says the occupants in one vehicle allegedly discharged a firearm towards the other vehicle.

“Both vehicles fled immediately after, however our staff were in the area, and signalled one to stop.

“The other vehicle has continued on towards Mount Wellington and was tracked by the Police helicopter heading towards Māngere.”

Detective Inspector Baldwin says the Police helicopter provided commentary as the vehicle pulled into a property on Mountain Road, Māngere Bridge where the occupants ran through properties and got into another vehicle.

“The offenders then continued onto the South-Western motorway towards Manurewa and officers attempted to stop it on Puhinui Road, however, it failed to stop.

“A pursuit ensued towards a Burundi Avenue address where two people were arrested, both with gang links.”

He says a sawn-off shotgun was also located in the vehicle.

“While officers were at the scene another vehicle drove through Police cordons and failed to stop when signalled so that driver was also arrested.

She was the partner of one of the arrested men.

“We know incidents like this are distressing for the wider community, so these swift arrests by our diligent staff are really pleasing and significant to ongoing public safety.”

The police investigation is continuing and further arrests are not excluded.

A 30-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, failing to stop, and intent to cause grievous bodily harm with a firearm.

Detective Inspector Baldwin says there are currently no known links between a later firearms incident in neighbouring Counties Manukau district.

“We are keeping an open mind at this very early stage,” he says.

From January to April 2025, we will be working to improve SH16 The Strand, Stanley St and Gladstone Rd.

We’ll be working overnight and during the weekend to improve these roads and make it safer and easier for people living, working, and travelling around this area.

SH16 is a busy road for Aucklanders, and we have chosen to work over the summer when traffic volumes are lower than normal. More stable summer weather reduces delays so our teams can finish this work quickly and efficiently.
