It's the play called "Maui and Sina" which was one of the first plays that I wrote back in 1994 but didn't publish it until 2015.
It's such a blessing because I wrote it for the local high school that I was working at the time and it was the first major theatre production that they put on. It had so many rave reviews (that I wrote two more for subsequent years).
The other neat thing was that it was picked for Year 10 cohort as an Extended Written Text. I had been a high school English teacher for 6 years before changing my job. I remember always looking for texts for teenagers to read that related to them and to see one of my books accepted into the list is a real privilege and honour (as a former English teacher).
Then to have it featured alongside one of my favourite writers as a teenager, S.E. Hinton and her book "The Outsiders" which was later turned into a movie and William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" is a neat feeling as a self-published author...
