Blithe Spirit starring Ginette McDonald!
A dinner, a relationship on the rocks, a séance gone awry, what could possibly go wrong?
Comedy-legend Ginette McDonald returns to Wellington’s Circa Theatre in Blithe Spirit, opening March 19th!
Eccentric medium, Madame Arcati, is guest of honour at a dinner party hosted by socialite novelist, Charles Condomine. After too many martinis and a schemozzle of a séance, Charles gets more than he wished for when an unexpected guest materializes.
After 18 years leading Auckland Theatre Company, director Colin McColl teams up with comedy-legend Ginette McDonald and a cast of award-winning actors for this refreshing adaption of Coward’s classic comedy.
SUPERMARKET PRODUCE NOT SO SUPER
PaknSave, Upper Hutt is my go to supermarket but always some of their fruit and vegetables are second or third level quality.
Tasteless summer fruit, over ripe bananas, over soft fruit, vegetables that are on their last leg, lemons that squeeze no juice - the list goes on.
Mostly nothing seems consistently good or not so good.
The store had weeks and weeks of packaged potatoes that were just awful. I would take them back and have them replaced. But in recent times this situation has been resolved at least for the moment with better quality.
There are occasions when one feels certain produce should not be displayed for sale or given away free (which will never happen).
Interestingly PaknSave's sister supermarket New World a few kilometres away in Silverstream has so much superior quality produce admittedly usually at a more expensive price.
Obviously the purchase management of each store has control of the quality they buy to resell though I would expect that some produce is take it or nothing else is available.
