Last week I had the pleasure of seeing my daughter Lara Macgregor perform in a play which was especially written for her and co-actor Mark Hadlow, by Gregory Cooper, writer and director. The play debuted at the Professional Theatre Company, which Mark Hadlow recently formed in Nelson – a brave and brilliant move given the current unstable nature of the performing arts industry in New Zealand. I was pleased that Mark brought the play to the Sky City Theatre Auckland soon after its debut giving many more New Zealanders the opportunity to see it.
