PJ Harvey: All About Eve (Original Music)
PJ Harvey All About Eve (Original Music) Invada Records As PJ Harvey sends out the demo-versions of her earlier albums to the world it’s worth remembering that late last year there was a brand new album by the singer/songwriter.

Stubs: # 271 – Switzerland, Wellington, 2018
Funny, I was just reminiscing about the play Songs For Nobodies and how great the writing of Joanna Murray-Smith was but actually the first things I saw by Smith was this play, Switzerland. I didn’t like it. And it was the writing that really let it down for me. The acting was superb – two […]Archive

Stubs: # 270 – Songs For Nobodies, Wellington, 2018
I felt like I was suitably prepared to enjoy this show – having met and interviewed the show’s star Ali Harper and being a fan of the singers she was inhabiting. But no. It was far better than my already pretty-high expectations. Don’t you just love that. The script was brilliant – but it’s Ali’s […]Archive

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 […]Archive

Stubs: # 257 – The Gaps Between, Wellington, 2016
It’s funny with reviewing – how a new gig starts. Just suddenly out of nowhere. And stops in much the same way. I was a theatre reviewer for about a year or so for The Sunday Star Times. Happened on a whim. They needed someone. I was keen. I had reviewed some theatre for the […]Archive

Stubs: # 251 – Rants In The Dark, 2018
Emily Writes wrote the book and then it was turned into the amazing play/show – and head of that 2019 run (and it went around the country to various spots – no luck this years, thanks Covid) it was trialed with a workshop-styled short season; they sought feedback and made a few changes. I got […]Archive
