VIVID GREEN ROCKS: Photographer Ebony Whitaker’s picture of exposed rocks licked by early morning sunlight at Wainui Beach is among a selection of his works on show at Tairawhiti Museum. “I have spent a lot of time at this beach in and out of the water and this is the first time I have seen this collection of rocks exposed,” says Whitaker in his catalogue notes. “What strikes me about this image is the contrast between the warm sun and the vivid green rocks.” Picture by Ebony Whitaker

ust as Shakespeare’s Globe theatre was closed three times due Jto the Bubonic Plague, the future of London’s famous replica Globe has been threatened by Covid-19. Retired school teacher and theatre enthusiast Gary File cannot believe today’s Globe might never reopen because of financial issues instigated by the coronavirus epidemic. The cultural icon and tourism magnet could close permanently if it does not receive adequate funding to make up for losses from the Covid-19 lockdown. The Globe is not funded by Arts Council England and does not qualify for any of the 160 million pounds (NZ$320m) of emergency funding designed to support such venues. The theatre depends on ticket sales, workshops and other revenue streams that are not available in lockdowned London. “It is ironic that the Globe closed when the plague swept through several times,” Mr File said. “Shakespeare was always struggling against the plague — it returned frequently.” SUCH SHAPING FANTASIES: Much to the dismay of Gisborne Shakespeareans, shows such as this Globe Theatre production History records that all London of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream are at risk of never hitting the iconic London theatre’s stage again, due to the theatres were closed in 1593, 1603 and impact of Covid-19.

YOU COMMON CRY OF CURS: Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre in London might be closed due to the impact of the alert response to Covid-19, but the National Theatre Live’s own pandemic response brings the play Coriolanus to the small screen. Tom Hiddleston (Betrayal, The Avengers, The Night Manager) plays the title role in Shakespeare’s tragedy of political manipulation and revenge in this Donmar Warehouse production. The story follows the rise and fall of military leader Caius Martius (latterly Coriolanus) during a time of famine in the Roman Empire. Martius barely hides his disdain for the masses and is loathed in return, but after he defeats the neighbouring Volscians, he earns the title Coriolanus. He now aims to become the most powerful elected official in the Empire, but, unloved and banished from Rome, he returns at the head of his former enemies’ army, intent on revenge. ■ The one week season screens from tomorrow morning (NZ time) until

Gisbone sides United and Thistle are both at home against Hawke’s Bay teams in the Pacific Premiership. Local leagues start the following weekend. Eastern leagues 1 and 2 start on Saturday, June 13. Women’s football begins the next day. Super League games for Year 7 to Y11 will start on June 27 but primary school grades won’t get going till Term 3 . . . July 25 is the first Saturday of the term. Central Football chief executive Darren Mason said primary schools wanted more time to get organised for the requirements of getting back on the field following the Covid-19 measures. He was pleased the Pacific Premiership was getting under way only a week after the target date of May 30. New Zealand Football and representatives of the seven federations had weekly catch-up calls, and Mason said he had pushed hard for a May 30 start. “I wanted a date that was realistic, not so far in the future that people would think we weren’t going to have a season. I thought it was a date we could meet if things went well. We’re a week out, but that’s fine. If you had said a month ago we’d be playing on June 6, I would have taken that with both hands.” New Zealand Football and the seven federations recommend people use the iDMe contact-tracing website to create iDMe for their smartphone. This enables team members and spectators to record their presence at a match. Each DERBY DAY: United player-coach Corey Adams (left) tries to tackle Thistle midfielder Max Logan during a Pacific Premiership game ground has a unique five-letter venue between the Gisborne sides at Harry Barker Reserve in June last year. The match ended in a 3-3 draw. Both teams will be in action code. This code is entered into iDMe on against Hawke’s Bay opponents in Gisborne on Saturday. Picture by Paul Rickard the smartphone. Venue codes will be displayed at grounds so people can enter “From our point of view, there’s no way notice this weekend was the absence of at least — if players or supporters could them when they attend matches. we would be using that information for the “respect” programme, in which they see numbers heading past a hundred at Contact details for more than one anything other than the intended use.” lined up before their game and shook one game, they would head home sooner person can be stored on one smartphone.
