The Tempest (-)
Bason Botanic Garden Trust presents
THE TEMPEST
Thursday 22 & Friday 23 February 7pm
Saturday 24 February 3pm & 8pm
Venue: Bason Botanic Gardens
The Tempest is said by some to be William Shakespeare’s last play. Did you know that Shakespeare at Bason is the only volunteer theatre performing the classics in an outdoor setting for the community in Whanganui? You want to be a part of this! And, since Bason Botanic Gardens closes at dusk, the three night time performances are the only times that you are allowed to be in the park after dark! It’s a very special place, don’t you think?
· Running time approx 2.5 hours including intermission
· Gates open 1 hour prior to performance
· You may bring a tall chair or umbrella but you will be seated on the sides to make sure everyone has a good line of vision to the performance area.
· Coffee and tea and a limited range of nibbles will be available. You can bring your own snack and please remember that this is a non BYO alcohol event.
· No wine, beer, cider or spirits will be on offer, unless served in the picnic hamper.

JULIET McLEAN & THE NAVIGATORS
Friday 23 February 7.30pm
The Grand Hotel, cnr Guyton & St Hill Streets
A little bit about Juliet McLean’s Music
Imagine Natalie Merchant quietly meeting Nick Cave and softly leading him into a tango - sensual, soulful, a gentle reminder of the lost places of the heart. Juliet and her band playfully invite you to join this dance, threading through different jazz infused genres with her piano and vocal led music.
Mclean's collaboration with Rob Ju (drums) Hamish Cameron (bass) and Richie Isaacs (guitar) began during recording sessions but has developed into a fine live performance - the skilful musicians navigating a course for the songs to sail by. They have played many amazing spaces - from theatres, clubs and bars to lounges, piano shops and parks, always delighting in the alchemy of live music.
Juliet released her EP "The Dance" in 2016.
