New Zealand’s ‘After The Party’ Is Tapping Into The Zeitgeist Around Middle-Aged Women On Screen Sparked By Kate Winslet’s ‘Mare Of Easttown’
'After the Party' with Robyn Malcolm and Peter Mullan is helping shape the zeitgeist sparked by Kate Winslet's 'Mare of Easttown.'
After the Party, which won Malcolm a Best Actress gong at the Series Mania awards, follows the no nonsense Penny, whose world implodes when she accuses her husband Phil, played by Peter Mullan, of a sex crime and nobody believes her. His terrifying turn as Matt Mitcham opposite Malcolm in Top of the Lake was met with acclaim and he has worked on hits ranging from Paddy Considine’s indie darling Tyrannosaur to Ozark to Harry Potter to the latest Lord of the Rings series. Mullan certainly gave the show’s promotion some oomph in a Series Mania masterclass, during which the gruff Scot coupled discussion about After the Party with a Kevin Spacey takedown (“The man is an asshole”) and an admission that he “didn’t give a shit about Harry Potter.”
