And they speak to director Faith Ward and producer Mikaela Stroud of the play Love Makes the Bed In Lie In, debuting tonight at the Factory Theatre, Onehunga.
Red Mole was a countercultural theatre company known for their artistic and political experimental styles. Hailing from the University of Auckland in the 1970s, the group performed regularly in Aotearoa before travelling to New York.
The documentary showed at the New Zealand International Film Festival last year, and is now showing at cinemas across the country.
I had a chat with the director, Professor Annie Goldson, about the making of the film and her own experiences with Red Mole.
