A group of young Wellingtonians who weren't even born when the original Star Trek series was on TV are paying homage to Kirk, Spock and all the others.

The Arts on Sunday spoke to Summer Star Trek director, Shannon Friday, who has assembled a cast to perform verbatim one of the episodes from the first series.

Friday talks about choosing the episode to put on stage, trans-gender casting, and why the original series still rocks.
