From the pen of award-winning New Zealand author Anthony McCarten (The Theory of Everything) comes the hit comedy WEED. It’s the 90s… and farming is struggling. Henry Donovan is being forced into the mortgagee sale of his farm. But thankfully, his mate Jack Riorden has a cunning plan. Fired up by a marketing conference, they decide to go for broke and grow a cash crop of marijuana.

Terry, a young woman Henry met in Wellington, turns up and Jack enlists the aid of his hapless nephew, Hugh. Can these partners in crime go for green, beat the bankers and save the farm? Is this “grass” the solvency solution or will the dodgy joint venture just go to pot, and their dreams go up in smoke?

With WEED, Oscar-nominated McCarten has us laughing as his typical Kiwi characters valiantly strive to beat the system and win the day! A genuine comic gem.
