Become a “Caretaker” and sponsor a blanket
Fortune Theatre invites you to donate $50 to sponsor a blanket to help Dunedin’s homeless people.
All proceeds go to the Dunedin Night Shelter Trust.
One of the characters in The Caretaker is a homeless man, so we wanted to take this opportunity to raise awareness of homelessness and to raise funds to help the Dunedin Night Shelter Trust who provide emergency accommodation, food and support to Dunedin's homeless people. Find out more about their work here.
Donate $50 and we will place your name or business logo onto the blanket, which will keep patrons warm while they watch The Caretaker (on from 27 September until 18 October at Shed 40, 40 Fryatt St). When the show finishes, the blankets and all cash proceeds will go to the Dunedin Night Shelter Trust.
Also, if you have any blankets you no longer require and wish to donate these to the campaign, we would be extremely grateful! Blankets can be left at Fortune Theatre or can be collected by arrangement.
For more information or to become a sponsor, please email: or call Lucy Summers on (ext. 2)

Is this what our future looks like?
The surveillance society, climate change, global financial crises, the end of oil, incurable diseases, all these and more are threats that constantly make news headlines. So where do we go from here?
Following Annie’s strange death, her partner is forced to think about what has happened to his life, his community and his country. His diary, kept during the year of The Change, reveals how the example Annie left him, and the mission of his young sister Sophie, drive him to escape the life of a bureaucratic cipher and work with the Movement in its fight to bring back a free and fair way of life.
In this gripping novel, underpinned by wide research, award-winning author Philip Temple tells a tale of life at mid-century and reveals what the future may hold if we ignore the threats that face us and carry on with ‘business as usual’. Philip’s last novel The Mantis was described in the New Zealand Listener as "at the summit of fiction writing".
This is Philip Temple’s tenth novel and the latest addition to a remarkable array of work that has won him awards and fellowships for his fiction and non-fiction, TV documentaries and children’s books. He has been made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit (ONZM) for services to literature and received a Prime Minister’s Award for Literary Achievement.
