Judith Collins is on the warpath, Par­lia­ment is in chaos, and Simon Bridges is lead­ing chore­o­graphed dances in this iter­a­tion of PSA — Indig­ni­ty War. As David Sey­mour tables a bill to halve the amount of MPs in Par­lia­ment, all the major par­ties are pan­ick­ing about who they’ll have to let go.

Jacin­da has the pow­er of Polit­i­cal Cap­i­tal on her side, but must face up against Win­ston, who is smug­ger than ever. James Shaw sounds and acts a lot like a young Hugh Lau­rie as he los­es grip on his par­ty to Mara­ma David­son, and David Sey­mour is just try­ing des­per­ate­ly to get an inter­view. With any­one. Seri­ous­ly.

As the time of the bill grows near­er, every­one gets a lit­tle more des­per­ate. With Judith assas­si­nat­ing less­er-known MPs in the hall­ways, and knife crime run­ning amok in the halls of the Bee­hive, will Par­lia­ment sur­vive this bill?

Yes, appar­ent­ly.

Indig­ni­ty War is a very fun show with incred­i­bly clever writ­ing. I was not expect­ing to see Simon Bridges spend­ing a long time want­i­ng to fuck roads, nor was I expect­ing the knife fight with Shane Jones, but the utter bizarreness of the piece is a delight all the same. It is a show that makes fun of those on all sides, and even the media peo­ple who cov­er them, all through the lens of inter­est­ing impres­sions and the medi­um of dance.

It’s qual­i­ty, mate.

PSA is on at BATS The­atre twice a day until Fri­day. Tick­ets avail­able from here.
