NY Times is excited about The New Zealand Performance Festival


Lori Holcomb-Holland preview The New Zealand Performance Festival for The New York Times. The festival will run March 12th through 29th, 2015.


"Among the highlights is “On the Conditions and Possibilities of Hillary Clinton Taking Me as her Young Lover,” Geoff Pinfield and Arthur Meek’s play, in which a lecturer (played by Mr. Meek) makes the case that Ms. Clinton not only wants a young lover, but also needs one to win the 2016 presidential election — and that he is the perfect candidate for the position."
