LONDON FUNDRAISER FOR CHRISTCHURCH The Lyric Theatre in London’s West End was the place. Raising as much money as possible was the aim. And it was achieved in stunning style. Former Christchurch comedian, Jarred Christmas, hosted and organised the ‘gig’ last Tuesday with Mike Sengelow (Skitz), Janette Linden (Jarred’s agent at JBJ) and Emma Deakin from the rather appropriately named, Shaky Isles Theatre Company. With the total raised currently sitting at $36,700 (£18,000), Jarred expects the final figure to be higher.

ADAM NEW ZEALAND PLAY AWARD SHORTLIST ANNOUNCED The Adam New Zealand Play Award recognises and celebrates the best in new writing for the theatre. The annual award, now in its fourth year, is the only one of its kind for new writing and encourages writers to banish all self censoring, all worries about what theatres want, what is affordable and what they think audiences want to see. This freedom has been the impetus for many writers’ best work.
