One of Aotearoa's most daring and decorated playwrights, Victor Rodger is a writer and producer of Samoan and Scottish descent.
Rodger's award-winning 2013 play Black Faggot was penned in direct response to Destiny Church's now-infamous "Enough is Enough" march on Parliament in 2004 and the 2012 protests against the Marriage Equality bill. More than a decade on, the play remains painfully relevant.
Black Faggot opens at Christchurch's The Court Theatre tonight, and goes on to play at Auckland's Q Theatre,
Victor speaks with Mihi Forbes.
