  Moonlight and Magnolias

  The greatest movie in Hollywood history has script troubles and movie mogul David O Selznick is bleeding a fortune. Five days, he figures, is all he has before his goose is cooked. But he's got Hollywood's best rewrite guy, Ben Hecht; he's got big-time director Victor Fleming; he's got a typewriter; he's got a supply of bananas; and he's got the key to the office door. No one's going nowhere until the script is fixed.
  The energy and the acting in this play are contagious.

  When: Now - March 28
  Where: Melbourne Theatre Company

  New York Tomato

  This cafe is a hidden secret. Located on the corner of New St, and York St in Richmond, hence the name, it's mood is set with music from old favourites like David Bowie and Prince. The menu offers scrumptious, original combinations of flavours which couldn't bore even the most frequent New York Tomato customer.
  So enjoy your breakfast or lunch New York style.

  Location: 2-6 New St, Richmond

  Easy Virtue

  A young Englishman marries a glamorous American. When he brings her home to meet the parents, she arrives like a blast from the future - blowing their entrenched British stuffiness out the window. This light hearted comedy explores the age old predicament of a family member's significant other not being "good enough" for the family and it's reputation.
  Easy and delightful to watch.
  Starring Kristin Scott Thomas, Colin Firth and Jessica Biel in an uncharacteristically cheeky and lovable role.
