Moonlight and Magnolias Opens Tonight at Dolphin Theatre
OPENING NIGHT TONIGHT
Movie mogul David O. Selznick has just shut down his mega-budget version of Gone With the Wind. Determined to produce a rewrite in five days, he engages the reluctant services of ace script doctor, Ben Hecht (possibly the only one in America who hasn’t read the novel) and a new director, Victor Fleming, poached from the set of The Wizard of Oz. Selznick locks himself in his office with his two collaborators, and a marathon creative session begins.
“...this is a melodrama with more heart than most”

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
