ON THE CONDITIONS AND POSSIBILITIES OF HELEN CLARK TAKING ME AS HER

YOUNG LOVER

Join the overeducated, under-achieving and unemployed Richard Meros as he charges through the pop-cultural slipstream to prove his amorous point: That by taking him as her young lover prior to the 2008 general election, Helen Clark can herald a new golden age for New Zealand culture and society.

Performed by Billy T Award Nominee Arthur Meek, and fresh from smash-hit sold-out seasons at Bats in Wellington and the Fringe in Dunedin, Expressions hosts the PowerPoint lecture of the decade.

"On the Conditions…" is the state of the nation address for the Rogernomics generation. First published as a scurrilous booklet by the elusive Balclutha author Richard Meros, the lecture is an anarchic and incisive satire upon contemporary politics and the hopes and dreams of a passionate but confused free-market generation. Simply the perfect antidote to the General Election.

Genesis Energy Theatre

All tickets: $20
