8 October: Comic timing - Dave Armstrong

Dave Armstrong has twice won the Best New New Zealand Play at the Chapman Tripp Theatre Awards, as well the Best Comedy Script award at the 2003 AFTA Television Awards.
King and Country has played to sold-out houses around New Zealand, and Niu Sila (co-written with Oscar Kightley), was performed at the 2007 Pasifika Styles Festival in England.

Armstrong’s TV credits include Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby, Skitz, Shortland Street, Spin Doctors, and Bro’town. The event features actors presenting extracts from his plays, and Armstrong will also read from his work in progress as the 2007 Victoria University/Creative New Zealand Writer in Residence, and talk with Ken Duncum.

All Writers on Mondays events are open to the public and take place at
City Gallery Wellington, Civic Square, at 1-2pm.
