Come to Coven: Uranus. You bet your ass it’ll be good.

Review: Hamlet – One Hour. Three Actors. Denmark Will Never Be the Same
- The Wellingtonista
- As someone who’s never read or seen a performance of Hamlet, I might seem like an unlikely reviewer for TheJoMarsh’s adaptation at Bats Theatre.

Great read: toll roads, congestion charges, and transport investment
- Talk Wellington
- Te Waihanga the NZ Infrastructure Commission have released another banger of a report, this time into two important ways to fund transport projects.
