Basement

Dutch second-division club De Graafschap is making headlines in Gelderland ahead of its match against Vitesse, but with notably fewer supporters making the trip. Local broadcaster Omroep Gelderland also describes the fixture period as a 'kelderkraker' — a basement battle — for the Doetinchem side, who sit low in the table. Separately, Paralympic skater Velzeboer won in Montreal.

A production titled The Horror of Macbeth is staging at Basement Theatre in Auckland from October 21 to 31, per an event listing on 13th Floor. The show reimagines Shakespeare's Macbeth as a horror piece, with a limited run ending on Halloween. Details on cast and creative team remain limited in the listing.
