Zoë dials in with some theatre reckons to fill another rainy weekend in Auckland. Catch Amadeus on National Theatre At Home (still making the most of this), or turn to the Gecko Theatre Company for some more online content, and lastly, if you've got kids to entertain, The Cat in the Hat is on at the Bruce Mason Theatre. Classic.

Zoë returns with some recommendations for a show you can see in the flesh, Love from a Stranger at Howick Little Theatre. But if you're keen to stay inside, the National Theatre At Home's The Deep Blue Sea by Terence Rattigan is playing and is certainly not one to miss.

Zoë's thrilled to see some real life theatre returning. This weekend you can catch Dolphin Theatre's Death Trap, or if you're happy sticking to the screens Hamilton is arriving to Disney Plus, and as usual, National Theatre At Home brings us another classic, Les Blancs. Alongside all of these, you can take yourself on a tour of The Civic theatre. So much to do!
