Episode Details

Theatreview turned 20 this week, having gone live on 2 April 2006. Founded by John Smythe, the site now holds nearly 15,000 reviews and remains the only platform offering comprehensive nationwide coverage of professional theatre in Aotearoa. Smythe, whose own theatre career stretches back to the 1960s, joins Culture 101 to reflect on two decades of reviewing, the funding challenges facing the site, and what memories his 60 years of watching theatre holds.
