What do you call six women stranded on a mountain in the rain: ridiculous! Or you could call them social climbers … but just not to their faces! Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.

Once at the hut, not only do they unload their packs full of food, wine, and a souvenir rock; their hang-ups get unloaded as well.
Torrential rain and a flooded bridge keep them stranded for three days. What they get up to, to help pass the time, raises a few eyebrows and will have you laughing, tearing up and applauding enthusiastically as they bare all.
Of course, it’s not just souls that are exposed, there’s a little nudity, a cracking thunderstorm, explosions, screaming bloody murder, ghostly stories, a birthday celebration, a séance, a drunken party, confessions, meltdowns and revelations that will keep you and your friends entertained throughout.
Perfectly timed for your own social group’s ascent into summer, don’t miss this hilarious play when it comes to a town near you in November.

MetService has issued a high wind warning for Auckland, expecting gusts of up to 110 km/h, while lines company Vector said there was a higher-than-usual likelihood of power cuts as a result.
Chief networks officer Andre Botha said strong wind gusts had the potential to damage power lines either directly, or indirectly by causing vegetation and debris to blow into lines.
"Vector is preparing response teams to respond as quickly as possible to any power outages caused by the high winds," Botha said.
Keep up to date wit the latest here.
Vector warns people to stay away from damaged electrical equipment and report issues by phoning us 0508 VECTOR.
