Sid talks with David O’Donnell, now adjunct professor at Victoria University in Wellington. While his natural modesty would prevent him for acknowledging the fact, David has perhaps been the person most responsible for the recognition and growth of native New Zealand actors, playwrights, and composers. Himself a fine actor and director, he has staged some twenty productions of New Zealand plays. He was also the editor of the Playmarket New Zealand PlaySeries from 2010 to 2023, and was honored with the Mayoral Award for Significant Contribution to the Theatre. David is especially concerned with marginalized artists and has encouraged and staged the works of the Māori, the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand (Aotearoa).
