Do you think granny flats and sleep outs should be charged separately for rates? Selwyn District Council says yes, the Christchurch City Council says only if it has a full kitchen.

A glorious tour de force in which four of Shakespeare's greatest creations (a foul-mouthed Macbeth, a confused Hamlet, a know-it-all Othello, and a really hungry King Lear) come kicking and screaming into the bursting, deranged brain of a single man. An outrageous and at times profound view into one actor's attempt at self destruction.
Ticket price includes 30 minute Q&A with Michael Hurst after the performance.
“….a well-crafted, clever, uproariously funny and ultimately moving journey…smart and witty script…belly laughs of sheer delight…there’s so much to enjoy here that it is hard to choose highlights.” - Theatreview
Michael Hurst

Michael has worked with Silo Theatre as a performer and director, and is renowned for his powerful and unique interpretations of Shakespeare, in most recent years tackling Twelfth Night, Measure for Measure, Macbeth and Hamlet and King Lear.
He won the Best Director Award in the Metro Awards 2008 for The Threepenny Opera and has recently directed Lysistrata, Chicago, The Wasteland, Cabaret and She Stoops To Conquer for the Auckland Theatre Company, Loot and Brel for Silo Theatre and, in 2017, the smash hit Pleasuredome, an independent production which ran for a sellout 12 weeks in a pop-up venue in West Auckland, and which he also co-wrote.
His television and film directing credits include Westside, Evil Dead, 800 Words, Spartacus, Step Dave, The Almighty Johnsons, Legend of the Seeker, and Jubilee.

• In general you’re entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave each year after you’ve worked for your employer for 6 months.
• You can accumulate any unused sick leave up to a total of 20 days.
• Sick leave can be used when you’re sick or when you need to be off work to look after someone else who is sick or injured (your partner, child, or someone who relies on you for care).
• Even if you’re a part-time or casual worker, you’re still entitled to 5 days’ of sick leave a year (once you’ve worked for 6 months continuously or for an average of 10 hours per week, and at least one hour in every week or 40 hours in every month).
• Your employer can require you to provide a medical certificate if you’re sick for 3 or more days in a row, and you’ll need to pay to get it. If they want proof of sickness sooner then they will have to pay the costs of getting the proof.
These are the minimum sick leave entitlements. Your employer can agree to give you more.
Check out our website for more information about sick leave and other employment rights and responsibilities. If you’ve got questions get in touch with a CAB near you, call us on 0800 367 222 (0800 FOR CAB), or contact us online.

He usually pops out for a few hours at a time and always sleeps on our bed at night. He loves everyone he meets and will come to his name (Nero). He is happy to be picked up and carried around. Nero is microchipped (advert on Lost Pet) and neutered. He is 19 months old, small for a male cat and slender. We desperately want him home and would be grateful if you could keep an eye out for him please.
