Company Theatre returns to The Rose Centre with Roger Hall’s “Last Legs”.
News that Bill English is to open a new wing of the Cambridge Retirement Village sparks a revolution among its residents. Though many want to turn on something special, others are less enthused and plan to stage a protest. Soon, new fractures appear along old fault lines, transforming the swanky facility into a hotbed of insurrection, intrigue and infidelity. The shenanigans and skulduggery continue right up to the last minute. With the Minister's car only moments away, a vehicle suddenly blocks the driveway. What's worse, it's a hearse!
Roger Hall is without doubt New Zealand's most popular playwright. There's nothing retiring about retirement and ageing is not merely a tale of bridge and bedpans. “Last Legs” is a lethally funny black comedy about sex, death and politics with an irresistible appeal to the old and bold of heart.
Enjoy the Company Theatre season between November 17 and December 1, with tickets available at iticket.co.nz
Sound healing/Pranayama & chakra balance course: 13th November - 6th December
For November we’re delighted to welcome a new yoga-based programme to The Rose Centre after the sad for us departure of our regular yoga classes.
Vibrational sound healing is a very powerful tool that has been used for over 5000 years. This four-week course will give you a strong foundation on how to replenish energy levels, balance chakras and practice breath techniques to help lower stress levels.
Tibetan singing bowls will be used as well as mantra chant to uplift and re-energise the practitioner.
Participants will receive a brief outline of the chakra system and how it works, as well as attain knowledge on simple self-care techniques to help improve the quality of everyday life and general well-being.
For full details of this unique experience please call Maria: 027 5831 965
Belmont’s Got Talent (for Christmas)
If you have talent, show off. We’ve organised the place and the time, you audition, maybe you make it, and then, showtime! It’s magic, it’s fun, it’s Christmas! You can sing, you can dance, you can reveal magic, you can do a stand up comedy set, you can do a short play, you can be one talent or many in a group, you can do anything to entertain and show that Belmont and all around the North Shore have talent. It’ll be $10 to enter and $10 each to be at the show, December 20.
