Born in the extreme and dramatic
"Scottish City of the South", Dunedin,
New Zealand, of an English Protestant
father and an Irish Catholic mother,
David Cade took his first drama classes
at the age of five in the town of Ngaruawahia
- official home of New Zealand's Maori King.
His formative years were spent in the tropics,
on the island of Viti Levu, Fiji.
After studying philosophy, psychology,
drama, and linguistics in England he taught
for many years in schools and universities in
the UK and the Middle East before focusing
solely upon theatre and writing.  He spends
much of his time now in an idyllic valley in the
Welsh Marches - in countryside as close to
New Zealand's as it's possible to find
anywhere in Britain.
