One of the more justified complaints of local actors is that overseas talent is imported for NZBC productions when local talent would do the same job as well or better. This complaint was given some force by Ewen Solon's disastrous performance in "Section Seven". Now comes Peter Adamson (of Coronation Street fame) to star in Pinter's "The Dumb Waiter" with Grant Tilly. All the people 1 have asked describe Adamson's performance as inferior to Tilly's, who was paid only half Adamson's fee. Why bring out these overseas artists when capable talent exists here? At best it is just putting into effect that stupid old belief that everything imported is superior to the local product.
