Neil Brewer - Page 3

Neil Brewer

I am a Wellingtonian born and bred and have been involved in theatre for the last 30 years, mostly on stage, but have done some technical and backstage roles.  I come from a musical background with both my mother and sister being members of Cantoris choir here in Wellington for many years.  My father was also well known in the live music community, playing double bass in the Simon Peele Orchestra, so you can see music has always played a big part of my life. 

I was responsible for setting up a Wellington Community Theatre page which has now been running for seven years and has close to 1700 members. It is used for sharing audition and show notices and when groups are looking for show props etc.

This year I started to write reviews and posting them on the page as I felt there was a gap in community theatre, where most shows now do not get any form of recognition. This has led me to now doing reviews for Broadwayworld, which I am excited to be a part of.

Review: NICK DEAR'S FRANKENSTEIN at Coasters Musical Theatre
Review: NICK DEAR'S FRANKENSTEIN at Coasters Musical Theatre
November 7, 2024

The play is notable for it's unique perspective, telling the story from the creatures point of view rather than Victor Frankenstein's. The shift allows the audience to experience the Creatures journey and struggles firsthand. The plot follows the Creature as he navigates a hostile world, seeking acceptance and understanding, only to be met with cruelty and rejection.
