Some of life’s best moments come from new experiences!
No matter our age, there’s always joy and meaningful connections waiting when we step outside our comfort zones. For many, this becomes easier with age as we shed inhibitions—but for others, it can feel more challenging.

If you’re someone who finds it easy, why not invite someone along to share the journey? You could be the reason they discover something wonderful and new.

Let’s make every day a “better living” day! 💛

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.
