Great comedy on locally
Local theatre (the award-winning Butterfly Creek Theatre Troupe in Eastbourne) is staging A Midsummer Night's Dream, Shakespeare’s most loved comedy, starting next week. Cast is being described as amazing by those privileged to see them in rehearsal and, with stunning costumes and accompanying music, this magical comedy is the tonic we can all do with right now. Held outside at Muritai School, Eastbourne, if fine, in the hall otherwise, it is on at 7.30pm on Thursday 24th, Friday 25th and Saturday 26th February, and again the following week on Thursday 3rd, Friday 4th and Saturday 5th March. Tickets available through Eventfinda www.eventfinda.co.nz... or from the Artisan Co-op Shop in Eastbourne. Audiences limited to 50 per night so get in quickly! Masks and vaccine passes required.
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)
