In Praise of Laura Dern

I’m watching the movie Wilson – and I’m digging it. Because I loved the book so much and I’m always curious to see how graphic novels translate to the screen. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they really do not. This is going okay. And this gets bonus points because it features Laura Dern. I didn’t know […]

Stubs: # 260 – At The Wake, Wellington, 2018

This play really knocked me for six. The acting was brilliant. The writing was superb. The real hook of it though I think – as a performance – was the role played by Lisa Harrow; both the writing of it and her capturing. I was lucky to get to meet her and chat with her […]

Ray Henwood has died. One of Circa Theatre’s stalwarts, one of Wellington’s acting legends. I met Ray Henwood only once. But it was huge for me. By then I’d grown up seeing him as part of the cast of Gliding On and he was there in several TV shows and movies. I’d seen him in […]
