A YEAR OF CULTURE

I can remember the first ‘proper’ stage show I went to. It was Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Cats by our very own Showbiz at the Isaac Theatre Royal. It was there that a brewing love for the arts overflowed, and they became a central part of my life. Following the past two years of cancellations and postponements, I was happy to see culture get a boost over this past summer. The Court Theatre has had an excellent season of Little Shop of Horrors – also one of the first musicals I saw all those years ago – and 2022 is set to be a year when our artists take back to the boards and strut their stuff. This can even be said for some of the Avenues family with our columnist Chris Parker on the comedy circuit next month. Let’s make 2022 a year of culture. 

In this month’s review section, I share my thoughts on a top-class film by a talented Kiwi, a delectable book, and a television show you’re sure to love.
