Playwright Dave Armstrong - guest speaker at a New Zealand Society of Authors (Wellington)

  Playwright Dave Armstrong will be guest speaker at a New Zealand Society of Authors (Wellington) event at the Thistle Inn, 3 Mulgrave Steet, Monday, 29 August, 7.30pm. 

Armstrong’s plays include Niu Sila, (co-written with Oscar Kightley), The Motor Camp, The Tutor, King and Country, Le Sud, and Rita and Douglas. His television credits include Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby (co-creator and co-writer), Shortland Street, and Spies and Lies. His children’s opera, Kia Ora Khalid, will have a season at the Playhouse at Melbourne’s Arts Centre in October. Armstrong will discuss his plays and his view that playwriting is an intensely physical ‘three-dimensional’ activity, much of which must be done in workshops and rehearsals with actors, directors and dramaturgs, rather than sitting alone in an office tapping away.
