William Shakespeare’s: The Comedy of Errors (Wednesday 13th-Wednesday 20th January 2021)

Wed, 13 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +1300

Wednesday 13th-Wednesday 20th January 2021, in Community Events, Music & Performing Arts

This summer we bring you Shakespeare’s most farcical play. Slapstick and mistaken identity, shipwrecks and puns, bungling servants and Dukes. All delivered in Shakespeare’s delicious verse.
A crazy tale of twins separated in a shipwreck, a father facing peril to find them again and a wonderful happy ending with unexpected reunions.
Bring a picnic (or grab something from the foodstalls) and settle down to be delighted with music, comedy and Shakespeare’s poetry.
Nelson Summer Shakespeare has built a reputation for beautifully spoken and easily understandable Shakespeare. A joy for the whole family.

Russell Howard – Respite (Sunday 7th February 2021)

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +1300

Sunday 7th February 2021, in Music & Performing Arts

Following the record-breaking success of his 2017 tour Round The World, Russell Howard returns with his biggest globe-spanning stand-up tour to date.

Hot on the heels of his critically-acclaimed hit Sky One show The Russell Howard Hour, and his global smash Netflix special Recalibrate, Russell is back on stage where he belongs, making sense of a world that’s spinning out of control.

It’s time for Respite.

“it’s thrilling to see Howard with fire in his belly” ★★★★★ Metro

“world domination is looming… he has grown darker, angrier and more satirical on stage. His sets deal with everything from foreign policy to his fear of death, and he rages as much as he teases.” The Sunday Times

Age Restrictions: 16+

The Howard Morrison Quartet Take Two (Tuesday 16th February 2021)

Tue, 16 Feb 2021 00:00:00 +1300

Tuesday 16th February 2021, in Music & Performing Arts

Join The Howard Morrison Quartet Take Two, featuring Howard Morrison Jnr, Russell Harrison, Chris Powley and Andre King as they celebrate and recreate the magic of the New Zealand entertainment phenomenon that was the original Howard Morrison Quartet, with superb vocals, entertainment, and first hand family stories in a memorable two hour show.

The Howard Morrison Quartet is considered this country’s most successful show band who helped to create the New Zealand entertainment industry. Merging family-friendly music with unique New Zealand humour, they toured constantly during the 50s and 60s but reformed regularly throughout the subsequent decades to remain hugely popular.

All outstanding performers, Howard Morrison Jnr, Russell Harrison and Chris Powley have toured successfully as a trio for many years, but now joined by singing comedian, Andre King, The Howard Morrison Quartet Take Two will faithfully recreate a trip down memory lane for the followers of the original showband plus add some new songs and magic of their own.
