For its suspense, clever plot, and convincing acting, I urge you lucky Rotorua people to book into the Wait until Dark production at the Shambles Theatre. We are from Whakatane and impulsively booked the Sunday matinee show. It was the second night of its season and was faultless.
Productions of this calibre need to be publicly applauded.
Congratulations to the superb cast and stage crew for two hours of completely riveting drama.

Our council has embarked on another round of consultation with its community. Our council endeavours to not only embrace transparency, but to also practise it.
In contrast, the Rotorua District Ratepayers and Residents group, who consistently claim that our council is a closed shop that ignores our wishes, itself appears to me to be struggling to put into practice what it preaches.
It is staggering that on an issue as important as placing our city under statutory management, the two sitting councillors elected under the RDRR ticket were not informed of the proposal.
Far from being the beacon of consultation and transparency that the RDRR purports itself to be, in my view it appears interested only in promoting the "vision" for our city of a very small, blinkered group.
