Foreskins Lament by Greg McGee New Zealand playscript Victoria Press
Born in Oamaru before Steampunk became a thing, Greg McGee played rugby all the way up to being an All-Black Trailist in 1972-1973.
This again is another snapshot of a slice of NZ society. A society before the Springbok tour and the politics of the 1980's. It is a snap shot of the dark and light rural underbelly of NZ.
This is a play about rural identity and where the pakeha stand.
How do you be part of a team with an obvious goal and still be yourself? How do you handle a mob? There is an echo for the modern reader.
This is my old university study book, with notes from 1983.
The book is from a smoke-free, pet-free home and I can post anywhere.
This book is good for drama historians, academics and people who'd just like a copy to read. Happy to post with negotiation.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
