The view from Five Boroughs Cafe
The view from the new Five Boroughs cafe in Mount Victoria. Looking down Majoribanks Street towards town. That's the Embassy Theatre on the corner all wrapped up in scaffolding and plastic while maintenance work is carried out.

Hannah Playhouse
The Hannah Playhouse is an iconic Wellington theatre built in the early 70's in the Brutalist style. It is one of my favourite Wellington buildings.
It was designed and built to be the home of the Downstage Theatre Company and remained so until late last year when, sadly, the company closed due to financial problems. Downstage operated for 49 years and was New Zealand's oldest theatre company. The building has been taken over by Wellington Museums Trust and will continue to be used as a performance venue.
It's on the corner of Cambridge Terrace and Courtney Place, perfectly situated to be viewed (and drawn) from the outside tables at Deluxe Cafe.
