Thursday 1st July
Nelson Film Society
'The Italian' (Andrei Kravchuk, Russia, 2005, 99 mins):
Despite the title, this heart-wrenching debut feature film has nothing to do with Italy other than it was to have been the destination to which lively little six-years-old Vanya was to have been sent for adoption. However, he doesn't want to go and escapes to street life in St Petersburg instead! At The Suter Art Gallery & Theatre, 6pm. Public join at the door or '3 for $30'. Contact
Ph. 03 5483560, gurli@xtra.co.nz
Thursday 1st–Saturday 10th July 2010
Play -One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest by Dale Wasseman
The central character, McMurphy, has been sentenced to a term of confinement (until he is deemed better) to a psychiatric ward. It was either this or prison, so the former was chosen naturally. By contrast the patients of the mental institution volunteered to be there. This seems extremely odd at first….but as Cuckoo’s Nest progresses one sees the long term effect that conditioning can have on people. The play is extremely funny until….well,it isn’t!
Theatre Royal, 7.30pm. Tickets from Everyman Records or at the theatre door.
