An in-depth conversation with Wellington writer Dave Armstrong. We plug and preview his new play, "The Surprise Party" but talk also about theatre in general and his various roles as a columnist, satirist, musician, scriptwriter for TV and film - a busy life writing for hire and writing for love. We discuss his time working on Shortland Street, playing with various bands in the 1980s including The Holidaymakers ("Sweet Lovers") and making TV (Seven Periods with Mr Gormsby, Spin Doctors) and movies (Kiwi Christmas) as well as the role of the satirist in modern society. Big chat. Great chat. Great guy.
