The Secret Lives of Extremely Old People
Is Life Worth Living after 90? Ask the Experts! Rachel McAlpine tackles with fun and courage a topic that bothers many people — getting old.
At 75, Rachel’s GP predicted she would live to 99. She promptly tuned up her lifestyle and wrote a best-selling book of poems, How To Be Old. But 99 is way past 75. Last year twelve local nonagenarians told Rachel about their lives, sparking The Secret Lives of Extremely Old People. On stage, fascinating stories and insights burst from five very old characters played by an age diverse, talented, Wellington cast. A perfect pre-festive season treat
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.

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)
