It continues the story of the first play "Maui and Sina" and follows his youngest brother (who wasn't created in the first play) Tagaloalagi and explores how he copes with peer pressure and the tensions between culture and his peers.
This particular play will be launched on Friday 25 Sept at 10.30 am at Mangere East library and looking forward to sharing this second play with the public.
It's actually already had two public performances (back in the 1990s) by Tangaroa College when I first wrote it and Nga Tapuwae College in the subsequent year. Both plays were accepted and praised by both communities with much satisfaction as a writer at the time.
Looking forward to finally seeing these books in print and to pass it on to the next generation as I realised that these plays had not been in public settings for some time. And now it's time...
