He tried to save New Zealand by becoming Helen Clark’s young lover... he failed.
Now, Richard Meros is back with a new nuclear-PowerPoint® to prove. The No.8-wire nation faces extinction, our pioneering culture eclipsed by the globalised Fonterra® farmer with a Facebook® account. Meros’ key to salvation? The craggy New Zealand hardness that still glimmers within the most urbane latté-drinkers: the spirit of The Southern Man. Part stand-up, part thesis, part travelogue, part manifesto, part self-improvement seminar, this is a show of many parts, which you can’t afford to miss… for all our sakes.
‘Cleverly interrogating our social dysfunctions with spot-on insight, Richard Meros Salutes the Southern Man is a brilliantly choreographed satire.’ – theatreview
