Live at Six is a newsroom thriller, examining the intense rivalry between New Zealand’s two major television news programmes.
When a scandalous video of one TV News anchor is leaked online, the competing stations use the same footage to create two vastly different news stories, each pushing their individual agendas and racing towards that 6pm deadline – all in real time and live on stage.
Themes of rivalry and manipulation are expressed visually in the editing process as the editors struggle under real time pressure to reach the deadline, the rest of the cast must contend with newsroom politics, exploited friendships and fraying tempers. The same question is on everyone’s mind: who leaked this video, and why?
Combining the thrilling time-pressure of live video editing with the realities of New Zealand’s media culture Live at Six promises to be a relevant, exciting, immediate and engaging experience.
