As life returns to quasi-normal (we’re still under the Orange Covid traffic light setting here), we can now go back to theatres. We’re supposed to wear masks throughout, but everyone I saw took theirs off as soon as they sat down.
BATS Theatre have a show called When Booty Calls, an action romcom with pirates. What’s not to like? We haven’t been to BATS for a while, but this is just the sort of thing at which they excel. Liz and Jen are pirates, marooned ashore after a battle in which they’ve decided that the pirate’s life is not for them. They have to overcome other pirates, love, lust, kraken, and poison to reach the end of the show. It’s very silly, but well-written with great fight scenes and frequent breaking of the fourth wall.
Afterwards we went for dinner at Capitol. Again, we’ve not been there for quite a while, due mainly to their restricted opening hours over the last few months. I asked about this and was delighted to hear that not only will they be opening for lunch again soon, but also that they have a new venture starting at Wellington Zoo, of all places. We’ll keep an eye out on these to see how they go.
