A109 Light Utility Helicopter flight with mayor Gisborne City from the air in November 2023.

The worlds of theatregoers and bookworms combine over the next two days with plays being hosted at both traditional and non-traditional settings one after the other.

The Book Addict is by Annie Ruth, a former Toi Whakaari NZ Drama School director, and directed by Robin Payne and will be held, appropriately, at Muir’s Bookshop on Gladstone Road today at 5pm. It was on last night at the same time.

The play is billed as a story of journeys, transformations and the way books deepen and contextualise life, its joys and rebellions, griefs and discoveries.

The Book Addict has been performed in a theatre, a pub and people’s homes, needing only an audience and the storyteller to create the intimate event.

Tickets are $25 (waged) and $20 (unwaged).

A more traditional setting is on offer tonight and tomorrow night as Evolution Theatre hosts Silent Spring Revisited / Rachel Carson’s fight for nature, written and performed by Jan Bolwell.

Carson’s famous book Silent Spring, first published in 1962, exposes the dangers of the deadly pesticide DDT. It has become known as every environmentalist’s bible.

Show times are 7.30pm both nights with tickets on Eventfinda priced $35 waged and $30 unwaged. A Q&A will be held after each performance.
