Barden Party bringing theatre to the people

From Morning Report, 8:57 am on 1 December 2021

With Covid-19 restrictions shrinking events around the country, a Nelson-based actor has decided to bring live theatre to the people. A small troupe of actors are performing A Midsummer Night's Dream in gardens and backyards across the top of the South Island, in what director Laura Irish has called The Barden Party. It's been so popular that the group has requests to perfom in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. In Nelson, Samantha Gee went along to a performance.
