Kiwi Slices
Riveting, challenging, moving stories from New Zealand’s shaky isles
Excerpt from Baghdad Baby! by Dean Parker
How in war-torn, war-ravaged, war-devastated—etc—Baghdad, two Iraqis, beset by Americans and New Zealanders, failed to be shining twin beacons of democracy and the free market. New Zealand’s first play in response to the American occupation of Iraq.
“Dean Parker’s ingenious take on occupied Iraq, post Saddam but pre ‘liberation’, is in turn insightful, humorous, sardonic, heart-warming, heart-rending and spine chilling.”
Reviewed by John Smythe (NBR) Premiered at BATS Theatre, Wellington 2005
Excerpts from Bare by Toa Fraser
What do a Samoan student, retiring police officer, a gym babe, a fast food worker, a twelve year old girl, an American and a Robin Brookes Personal Trainer have in common? Laid bare, they're all the same. Or are they?
“It's cleverly told with a twist of humour and dash of spice, but one thing's for sure... you'll never look at Kiwis the same way again!”
‘Bare’ at the Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh Fringe 1999
