RHYS MATHEWSON: RHYSPECT (NZ) at Fringe Bar, Cnr Cuba & Vivian reviewed by Hannah Smith 6 May 2010 |

Heaps of potential Rhys Mathewson is very young. Nineteen. And for a man so young he’s got a bunch of experience with Class Comedians and the Comedy Festival and going to the Edinburgh Festival and so on. He is, if you Google him, the new generation, the up and coming, the bearer of the comedic flame etc. [more] |

Tempo Festival of Dance 10 RHYTHM IS IT - FILM at TAPAC Theatre, Western Springs reviewed by Jennifer Nikolai 9 Oct 2010 |

The necessity of dance Rhythm is It is one of the most inspirational films I’ve seen all year. The film opens cinematically with shots of Berlin. We see images of freshly falling snow landing gently on tree branches, row houses, apartment blocks framed by train tracks and commercial signage. It is 2003 ... [more] |

Artistically and emotionally satisfying Onto this rain-sodden and be-puddled surface skulks Luke Thornborough’s Richard, “deformed, unfinished, sent before his time into this breathing world, scarce half made up” and he proceeds to engulf us in his villainous infamy for the following three hours.

Timely reflection cleverly constructed and superbly executed The phenomenon that is Richard Meros, as personified byArthur Meek– or is it vice versa? – is a splendid way of checking the pulse of the nation and planet in crisis. The jury may still be out on whether On The Conditions and Possibilities of Helen Clark Taking Me as Her Young Lover offered an act of altruism or self-interest on the part of young Meros (a happy blend of Eros and Me) ...

Always clever and beautifully produced visual commentary A large screen, a couple rocks of schist and some tussock are the simple set. The projections are even better than when Richard Meros lectured us on wanting to be Helen Clarke’s lover; they are an often bitingly witty and an always clever and beautifully produced visual commentary on contemporaryNew Zealand.

Wickedly funny Richard Meros salutes the Southern Man is very clever. And funny, topical and entertaining. It has the same theatrical premise as the adaptation of Meros’ book On the Conditions and Possibilities of Helen Clark Taking me as her Young Lover where he (in the fine form of the charmingArthur Meek), Prince of the Powerpoint Presentation, persuasively argues his point.

RICHARD MEROS SALUTES THE SOUTHERN MAN at Fortune Theatre Studio reviewed by Terry MacTavish 21 Mar 2012 |
|
Dazzling logic and bizarre flights of fancy As his valiant attempt to save New Zealand by becoming Helen Clark’s young lover so tragically failed, Richard Meros seeks out a new source of salvation: the Southern Man; stuff of legend, tough, taciturn, indomitable. Good for selling beer. [more] |

Cleverly constructed and excellently performed Meros’ stock and trade is devising outlandish solutions to national woes – last time it was to revive the mojo of a Prime Minister with flagging popularity, this time he’s found the cure to the stagnant economy. Meek and co-writer Geoff Pinfield have once again cleverly adapted Meros’ book into a PowerPoint presentation for the stage. [more] |

RICHARD MEROS SALUTES THE SOUTHERN MAN at Meteor Theatre reviewed by Richard Howard 23 Jun 2012 |
|
A verbal roller coaster ride and a visual download Cleverly adapted from the 2008 Richard Meros book of the same name by the vital and charming Mr Arthur Meek and his cohort director Geoff Pinfield, this one man power point performance is engaging, witty and intelligent. It is also great fun. [more] |
