Frustratingly, there is
still no mention of who is playing which part (surely they must have cast it by
now?!), but nevertheless, this is an occasion not be missed, to see Joe Orton’s
first successful play, and one which is not regularly performed in my
experience. There are only four characters, all of them parts to die for, as
those of you who saw the film at Outtakes a few years back can testify.
If you
want to know more about Mr Dey in particular, here is an interesting interview:

A major milestone in 20th
century gay theatre. So see you there.

Taane Mete
and Taiaroa Royal premiered Tama Ma at Tempo Dance Festival (Auckland)
in 2008, where they performed to sell out crowds and rave reviews. Metro
Magazine announced that Tama Ma was the ‘Best Dance’ in Auckland in
2008, and the duo won four awards at the official Tempo Dance Award ceremony. Now
due to popular demand they are taking their award winning show to audiences all
around New Zealand.
‘A sustained standing ovation greeted dancers Taiaroa Royal and Taane
Mete...The applause honoured the breadth and depth of their richly satisfying
performance, their extraordinary artistry, and the excellence of all aspects…’
Raewyn Whyte - NZ Herald.

Kapiti Gay Radio
There is now a 30 minute
gay slot on Coast Access Radio on the Kapiti Coast, at 104.9 FM.
Apparently parts of Wellington can get it too.
It is run by Steve, and is
on once a month, usually on the third Sunday afternoon at 3 pm, and repeated on
Tuesday at 9 pm and Thursday at 5 pm.
Your editor is due to be interviewed on July
12th (repeated twice during that week) The interview is
already in the can, and tells all the Coasters (or whatever we are!) about
Rainbow Wellington, and also plays three musical numbers of choice. If that is
successful, I may even be asked back to discuss various contemporary issues.
So tune in and listen!

The Homophones - Wellington
Gay Men's Chorus
The
Wellington Gay Men's Chorus was established at the beginning of 2008 as a
community male-voice choir open to all who men who wish to attend. Some of our
members have choral or other musical experience and some do not; the ability to
read music is not essential and the emphasis in on the joy of singing and
participation in the group. We enjoy an eclectic range of music from Brahms to
the Beatles, adding our own gender twist to the lyrics wherever necessary.
We
rehearse weekly on Thursday evenings from 6.30 - 8.30 pm at the church hall of
St Mary of the Angels in Boulcott St (50m up the road from the church on the
left). We're currently working on repertoire for our winter concert in July.
