Greg McGee

Gregory William McGee is a New Zealand writer and playwright, who also writes crime fiction under the pseudonym Alix Bosco.

In New Zealand a rugby player is an everyman, and the game and play present a model of society in the end of the 1970s on the eve of the 1981 Springbok Tour.

The play has a stylistically unusual ending, with the main character directly addressing the audience with a very long speech — or rather interrogation — questioning their own values: "Whaddarya?".

McGee script-wrote for television, notably two mini-series: Erebus: The Aftermath (an examination of the inquiry following the crash of Air New Zealand Flight 901 in Antarctica) and Fallout (a dramatisation of David Lange's government and the end of ANZUS).

He co-wrote movie scripts for Crooked Earth, Via Satellite (1998), with Anthony McCarten and the Kiwi Welsh rugby comedy Old Scores with Dean Parker.
