About
Christchurch property developer Dave Henderson has faced bankruptcy, accusations of fraud, and 25+ tax audits. This comedy-drama from Jonothan Cullinane (Trifecta) is inspired by Henderson's bestselling account of battling the tax department over a $924,000 bill. Qantas Award-nominated Erik Thomson (800 Words, The Luminaries) plays Henderson, while a near-unrecognisable Michael Hurst cameos as MP Rodney Hide. Lumière writer Simon Sweetman praised the "superb" cast and Thomson’s playful performance.
