Writer Rachel Lang has helped create a host of New Zealand television dramas, including Outrageous Fortune, the iconic saga of a West Auckland family trying to go straight. She has also co-created and written for small town dramas Jackson's Wharf and Mercy Peak, plus Go Girls, This is Not My Life, The Almighty Johnsons, and adaptation Maddigan's Quest.
I thought the next time I do something I’m going to make it so that no one will be able to ignore it. I wanted big things to happen.
