There’s a big weekend in store for Christchurch where the curtain is being raised on the new Court Theatre.
The new $56 million playhouse is the theatre's first permanent home since the 2011 earthquake destroyed its Arts Centre venue.
Since then, the theatre has masqueraded as "The Shed" in a converted warehouse in Addington. The new theatre is the latest act in a four-decades-old saga involving multiple venues and reinvention.
Court Theatre artistic director Ross Gumbley and Lara Macgregor, director of opening show The End of the Golden Weather, speak to Susie.
