Friday 31st March 2023

A couple of weeks ago, professional actor and director Steven Ray was in town for the Dunedin Fringe Festival. His show, Title and Deed was a provocative monologue by Pulitzer Prize finalist and ‘maverick wordsmith’ Will Eno, madly channelling Absurdist playwright Samuel Beckett.
