Zoë brings us a different kind of theatre guide this morning, a virtual theatre guide with her top reckons of things to entertain yourself over the next little while. Plus, a bit of theatre history! Plenty to dive into.
Zoë pops in to talk theatre, some of the shows that are still on are Scotty Cotter's Babble, and how about some opera? You can catch Eight Songs for a Mad King to fulfil all your theatre needs.
Everyone's been raving about Emilia, and we've got Roimata Templeton in studio to chat about the show. Get yourself along to Emilia at the Pop-Up Globe, this is one all women cast show that you don't want to miss.
Zoë joins us for another Stage Direction with two special guests this week Rebecca and Frankie to talk about Dungeons and Dragons and their new show, Can I Get an Underground Location and a Mythical Creature?Based on a game close to many people's hearts, this show is definitely not one to miss.
Beth and Katie from GET OUT OF MY LETTER BOX joins Rachel and Zoë to talk about their show at Q Theatre, and Zoë reckons you may as well make a night out of it and head long to Dr Drama Makes a Show afterwards. Yay for theatre!
Rachel is joined by Zoë, Sarita and Brigid. Sarita describes their show Perfect Shade as personal and confronting. They discuss the place of colourism and privilege in South Asia, Aotearoa, and the wider world. Then, Brigid teases how she and her cast are handling Shakespeare in a 2020 New Zealand context. The Works of William Shakespeare by Chicks starts next week, so get your tix quick!

Zoë's back this week but she's not alone, joining her and Rachel in studio is Freya Finch. Freya chats to Rachel and Zoë about directing OurGala, and launching the 2020 Auckland Pride Festival. Alongside this very speciale event, Zoë reckons you should get yourself along to Ghost Trees, because who doesn't love a talking tree?
Ravi and Kierron join Zoë in studio to chat about their show at the Basement theatre, Take The Crown. The pair chat to Zoë and Rachel about queer representation in theatre and the power of having a platform. Would it really be a theatre guide in January if we don't talk about Shakespeare? Get yourself along to Macbeth at Shakespeare in the Park and Much Ado About Nothingat the Pop-Up Globe. Plus, one last mention, Oldest Friend, at the Pumphouse Theatre.
Zoë's back from her holiday with some reckons on what's good in theatre this week. Get yourself along to the Shakespeare Pop-Up Globe to catch the ol' classic Romeo & Juliet. And following that theme, Auckland's Shakespeare in the Park 2020 is on at the Pumphouse, so why not make a weekend of it?
