Playwright Roger Hall began writing and acting on television in the late 60s. In 1976 his debut play Glide Time was a sell out; after a one-off TV adaptation, Hall turned this satire of civil servants into Gliding On, arguably NZ's most successful sitcom. Play Middle Aged Spread was filmed in 1979. Later Hall wrote marital comedy Conjugal Rights for England's Granada TV. He remains New Zealand's most successful playwright.
He has identified faults and follies which highlight small monsters in ordinary people, and sometimes excite our sympathy as much as our laughter.
