Haere mai, nau mai!

Welcome to the new improved Equity NZ website. It has a great new look and functionality and we look forward to further improvements.

This is still a work in progress, so we can not update individual items and bring you new features yet, but will do soon.

All of the usual functions should be available under the menu to your right.

Equity members Stephen Lovatt, Sam Snedden, Kevin Keys, Andrew Grainger, Tim Carlsen, Jordan Mooney, Wesley Dowdell, Oscar Wilson, Alex Walker star in the new ATC production, 'Once on Chunuk Bair'.

Directed by Ian Mune and Cameron Rhodes.
8 August 1915. Before dawn, the Wellington Regiment, part of the New Zealand Expeditionary Force, commences an offensive to seize Chunuk Bair, a pivotal peak overlooking Gallipoli Bay. As inept British Generals look on from their battleships, the Regiment captures the high ground. With extraordinary courage, the stalwart young Wellingtonians battle to hold off the enemy, firing their rifles and those of their fallen companions until the wood of the stock is too hot to touch. On now till 5 July.
