Eight Auckland Theatre Shows to See This August
An exploration of self, an ode to dogs and a Shakespearean tragedy.
The best way to forget that it's winter, is to act like it's not. That doesn't mean continuing to wear short sleeved tops and less than two pairs of socks at any one time — we're not getting crazy here folks. What it does mean however, is instead of going straight home from work and heating up soup for dinner because it's already dark and probably raining, it might be an idea to go and see something created by people with something to say. The Auckland arts scene does not hibernate over winter. So throw on whatever it takes to get yourself out of the house and go get cultured.
