PLAYMARKET NEWS – Auckland Theatre + Pasifika Playwrights

Just published in the Playmarket News and now available online is Ode to Auckland: an article canvassing a range of views from within the Auckland theatre industry on its past, future and current fitness. Participants include Alison Quigan, Shane Bosher, Vivienne Plumb, Mark Amery, Mike Hudson and Dean Parker.

Also available on line are three vital discussions published following Playmarket’s fourth Pasifika Playwrights Forum. They include a panel considering issues facing the future of Pacific Theatre in New Zealand, an address by playwright Victor Rodger and a provocative panel discussion with Pacific Island playwrights, entitled Who Told You You Could Write About That?

[Feel free to initiate a Forum on either topic]
