	This is a brilliant line-up at CIRCA. Of the 15 actual plays (not counting musical shows, dance and improv) 11 are homegrown, 4 of which are world premieres (not sure if all are supported by TACT funding but CIRCA is supporting them by giving them space, as they did for I, GEORGE NEPIA last year). Plus there is the world premiere on an adapation by a NZ playwright of a British novel. This is all extremely impressive!

	Agreed. The only way forward for NZ theatre is to programme and fund NZ works on our stages. Centrepoint's 'Keeping it Kiwi' 2011 season led the way. And let's keep taking risk - eg Lead Wait as well as the lighter stuff. Good on you Circa.

	Not forgetting The Forge's 2010 season - all NZ work, including three world premieres!

	Yeah, well the Forge is only offering ghost chups now.
