Warning: Potentially distressing content
Outrage at a Wellington theatre company who cast a man convicted of rape in a lead role.
Wellington Repertory Theatre's 'Murdered to Death' stars Harrison Stuart Nicol, who was convicted of rape in 2021.
The theatre company has told media in a statement a safety plan's in place.
Independent victims' advocate Ruth Money says a rapist poster-boy is incredibly distressing, and she's got concerns about the company's safety practice.
She asks if those who wrote the safety practice are trained in sexual violence, and wonders if the theatre company is happy their leading man is a convicted rapist.
