And the Lochburns - on at Circa Theatre 4 Oct - 2 Nov

Marketing Manager from Circa Theatre

‘A perfectly pitched family drama’
Gus Lochburn is a celebrated pianist. But this weekend he is being moved into a care home.

His three grown children have the weekend to pack up his life, their childhood, and the memories of their mother into neat boxes. It’s been five minutes – they are already at each other’s throats.

Between fights and fugues comes magic, memory, and music.

Starring a celebrated cast of actor-musicians, performing soaring symphonies and jazz standards. and the Lochburns is brought to life by an exceptional band of award-winning theatremakers, including married duo Andrew Paterson and William Duignan, and designer Meg Rollandi (NZ National Curator, Prague Quadrennial 2023).

Regress back to childhood squabbles, pubescent spats, and fights over pizza slices, in one nostalgic night of loss and laughter.

This touching new play is a world premiere not soon forgotten.

Poll: Would you commute by public transport if it was free?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Using your car is convenient, except for finding parking.

Cycling lets you leave anytime, but you might arrive soaked.

So, neighbours, if public transport had the perk of being free, would it be your main way to commute?

Poll: Does grocery bagging affect where you shop?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's only a few differences between our larger chain supermarkets here in New Zealand. Having someone bag your groceries is one of them.

Does having your groceries packed for you at the checkout influence where you do your grocery shop? If so, tell us why.
