Two Gentlemen of Verona is the result of a collaboration of two theatre companies. One of these is Slip of the Tongue, a group who have established a reputation in recent years for staging fun, fast-flowing summer Shakespeare productions in the gardens.
It is one of a swathe of shows that should draw big crowds to the gardens and some associated venues on Wednesday night. Another is
Dakota of the White Flats, a work of theatre for young people and adults that begins a three-night, three-matinee run at the Meteor Theatre.

Lovers of dance have a potentially thrilling experience in store for them in the form of Hurihuri, a work that has been constructed around the movement of the wheel, and fuses hip-hop and contemporary movement with traditional kapa haka.
