In 2012, a change to New Zealand's road rules caused a frenzy among some drivers who worried our roads would turn to chaos. As it turned out, the intersection turning rule reversal went down relatively smoothly.

Thirteen years later, it has become the topic of an eccentric musical which is currently showing at Wellington's Circa Theatre. GIVE WAY! stars an idealistic young Ministry of Transport worker who leads the charge for the new rule and is met with a flurry of anti-change protestors.

Producer Dave Armstrong and lead actor Jackson Burling speak to Kathryn.
