Stage Direction

Zoë's back from a wholesome holiday and ready to jump into some theatre this weekend. She reckons you need to get along to Read My Lips, Like a River, both at Basement Theatre and Ngā Puke at The Herald. Check 'em out.

Special theatre expert, Julia Croft, chats to Rachel about what's good in theatre this weekend. And apparently it's a lot. Julia reckons you gotta get along to Inheritance at the Basement, Sinarella at Q Theatre, and must-see The Wolves, also at Q Theatre. A special mention goes out to Orchids, coming up in the future - it's not one to miss.

Zoë brings in some recommendations for good theatre, and a special guest, Kate Rylatt, to talk about Fleshies at the Basement, described as a call to action to end body insecurities and body shaming (much needed!). As well as Fleshies, Zoë reckons you should get along to A Fine Balance, and Wolves, both at Q Theatre, both great social commentaries. Nice.

This segment's not just about penguin noods and drunken soldiers, though you might be fooled, Zoë has some good recommendation's for your rainy weekend, Heat at Basement Theatre, Things I Know to be True at Ellerslie Theatre and some opera, The Barber of Seville at ASB Waterfront Theatre, wowee.
