New Writing in New Zealand

2024-07-14

In this episode of The Writer’s Toolkit Podcast, we shine a spotlight on the vibrant playwriting scene in Aotearoa New Zealand. Join me as I reflect on my time in New Zealand and share insights from three special guests: Murray Lynch, director of Playmarket NZ, discusses opportunities for playwrights; Keagan Carr Fransch shares the development journey of her play Dimensions in Black; and Nathan Joe explores his creative process with Scenes from a Yellow Peril. We also highlight the Robert Lord Writers Cottage, a cherished residency in the former home of New Zealand's first professional playwright.
