Review: DND Live at the Fringe: When Dwarves Cry

I would­n’t nec­es­sar­i­ly say that Dun­geons and Drag­ons has gone main­stream, but it’s become a lot more pop­u­lar in the last twen­ty years.  It prob­a­bly helps that there are so many TV shows these days with a fan­ta­sy ele­ment, as well as movies like the Lord of the Rings series mak­ing sword-and-sor­cery stuff cool­er.

The New Zealand Fringe Festival

The New Zealand Fringe Fes­ti­val has been going for a week and it’s got just over two more weeks to run. Sad­ly, I’ve only made it to two shows so far (because mov­ing house) a pathet­ic effort real­ly, because there are HEAPS. Cabaret, cir­cus, com­e­dy, dance, music, the­atre, visu­al art — there are a lot of […]
