Review: Skin Tight
- The Wellingtonista
- Skin Tight is my favourite ever play and I’ve been wanting to see it performed since I first read it. Circa Theatre did not disappoint with their iteration of this show; a gloriously evocative piece with incredible staging, performances and movement. The play is not just a love story to its characters – and the highs […]

The poets among us: Our literary librarians
- Wellington City Libraries
- Today is the 25th anniversary of Phantom Billstickers National Poetry Day, and as part of our celebration we’re highlighting the emerging talents within our own ranks. When these writers aren’t penning new poems or performing live, they double as our Librarians, who help connect their local communities to the literary world they are a part of.

Crafting “age-friendly” towns for an ageing population
- Talk Wellington
- What does it take to design a city that serves you for life? And why do many, including the World Health Organization, consider age-inclusivity particularly valuable? It’s easy for certain groups or dimensions to be overlooked when designing towns, neighbourhoods and facilities. Age is one such dimension; we often prioritise young and middle adults when...

Wellington wax: Local vinyl picks
- Wellington City Libraries
- This month we’re looking at Wellington artists that have braved the world of international shipping and production delays to jump on the vinyl revival train in the last few years. You can get all of these albums from our vinyl collections at Te Awe or Johnsonville (or reserve to the branch of your choice for free!) today and confuse your parents who sold or left their records behind in the wake of the CD revolution.

Celebrating local businesses
- Sarah Free
- We are so fortunate to have some excellent eateries and cafes in the eastern suburbs and on Sunday I popped into Nicoletta’s Bakery- a small cafe and bakery on Park Road I’d never tried before. Have to say the atmosphere was lovely, and their apple and cinnamon cake was to die for. Light and yet […]

Elections again!
- Sarah Free
- It’s been a difficult three years for Council, Wellington- and indeed the entire country and beyond. Following the 2016 earthquake, it became increasingly obvious that Wellington’s pipes-already decades old- were starting to leak and break with increasing frequency. To add to that, the Kaikoura earthquake had thrown up new engineering issues with relatively new buildings […]

Review: Celestial Nobodies
- The Wellingtonista
- Before I even start this review, let me just stress how well the cast of Celestial Nobodies performed under pressure last night, the audience space was quite challenging for multiple reasons and they held the show well with composure and poise – no mean feat considering it was opening night as well! Celestial Nobodies sold out during the […]

Review: RNZB’s Cinderella
- The Wellingtonista
- RNZB’s Cinderella is a carnival of excess, packed full of joy and beauty and delight. It shines with queerness, and as a queer dancer myself, this ballet was a revolutionary take on a well-hewn story and hit me right in the chest. Cinderella (Mayu Tanigaito) is the same woman we all know, stuck in a […]
