Briar Grace-Smith

Briar Grace-Smith has written for stage, page and screen. The Listener called her 1996 play Purapurawhetu "a new classic of New Zealand theatre"; Haruru Mai, the tale of a Māori battalion veteran, won further acclaim. After writing for TV hit Being Eve and series Mataku, Grace-Smith created quirky tale Fish Skin Suit. In 2010 she won an inaugural NZ Scriptwriters Award for her debut feature, The Strength of Water.

I’m probably telling the same story again and again, and it’s something about the underdogs. They’re the characters that interest me.
