Due to her rough start in life, she has terrible gum disease and bad teeth. She needs her teeth removed (and may need her eye removed at some stage). We’ve been quoted $1,300 - $1,700 for surgery to remove her teeth. I’m hoping that I can raise some of this amount through Givealittle.

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.
