Transmission: Beta. A play about how the fight against COVID-19 became a war with each other. wellingtonnz.com/visit/events/t…

TRANSMISSION BETA at @CircaTheatre was clever, fun, timely., with @stuartmckenzie1’s top troupe stellar in verbatim workout. Nigel Collins standout as show’s heroes Dr Michael Baker and @bernardchickey. Bonus points for @rhiansheehan score & Barry Manilow surprise. Go see.

Went to the very good new play Transmission:Beta at Circa last night. Very very sad how our world leading Covid response was undermined by conspiracy theories and hate. Playwriters talked to Jacinda and Grant and others and fascinating insights revealed in script.

Saw Transmission: Beta last night at Circa, a new play about our COVID response from @stuartmckenzie1 and Miranda Harcourt. I was genuinely moved by it & it's been on my mind all day - the characterisation and acting of the 'real' protagonists was spot on. Highly recommend

@ThomasHaig Thanks so much for coming along, Tom, and for your enthusiasm!

@PeterTMcKenzie @DartCenter Congratulations Peter ! Incredible opportunity ♥️👏🏼👏🏼🌞

Extremely excited to be one of this year’s Ochberg Fellows @DartCenter — can’t wait to spend time deepening my understanding of trauma-informed reporting with such an incredible cohort of other fellows.

@secondzeit Very much looking forward to watching this. Thanks for the review.

The documentary River of Freedom is streaming soon. I had a look. This is my Letterboxd review.

Wise words in @nzherald from @petertmckenzie on need for legalisation & regulation of #cannabis: “The lesson to draw here is simple: we can only control cannabis if we can regulate it, and we can only regulate it if it’s legal.” #VoteYes in 2010 referendum nzh.tw/12290441

@mifflangstone Hahaha, you have done good work here! xx

Here’s a lovely review of The Changeover, a movie I did in my homeland with the brilliant Timothy Spall and the incredible actor/absolute angel person Erana James

@mattzollerseitz Thank you so much for your review, Matt. It meant so much to Miranda & myself & all the creators of The Changeover! All films need champions as they face the world. It is such a thrill for us you spoke to the dimensions in the film we hoped would shine through.

Just wrote a four-star review of a very small film whose excellence is disguised by a beguiling modesty. I didn't realize how impressive it was until I looked back over the entire review and realized I'd praised everything about it. The review will post on Friday.

@Nnedi Hi Nnedi, I hope you do get a chance to view The Changeover! So thrilled to hear you are a Margaret Mahy fan. Great admiration to you from New Zealand xx

Which film should I watch tonight?: The Changeover (The film adaptation of one of my childhood all-time favorite novels) or Bohemian Rhapsody (I’m a huge Queen fan...esp of the lovely Freddie Mercury)? 🤔

@mifflangstone Wonderful!!!

@Pookina1 Good luck!!!
