Overview

This funny and highly successful New Zealand play has been rewritten for use in secondary schools. The story of two boys growing up in New Zealand - one Polynesian and one European - resonates with true ‘kiwi-isms’ and a few stark home truths about race relations in this country. Originally performed by a two-man cast, the play has been reworked to be performed by large school casts. Comprehensive teaching notes - for both drama and English classes - will accompany the playscript.
