Elisabeth Easter, The New Zealand
Listener
For more than 30 years,
Dr
David Galler has worked on the frontlines of New
Zealand’s health system as an intensive care specialist at
Middlemore Hospital and in its highest reaches as an advisor
to the Ministry of Health. His 2017 book,
Things
That Matter: Stories of life & death,
shines a powerful light on the extraordinary patients he met
and the struggles our society faces in caring for
them.
Developed over several years, Auckland Theatre
Company presents an important new New Zealand play by
award-winning playwright
Gary Henderson,
adapted from Galler’s generous and lyrical memoir.
