Waiora

by Hone Kouka

The year is 1965. A Maori family, recently migrated to the South Island from the North Island's East Cape, prepares to celebrate a birthday with their Pakeha guests. Yet origins cannot easily be forgotten.

Waiora is compelling, comic, devastating. Exploring differing interpretations of home and belonging, it addresses, in Kouka's words, 'all of us who have travelled from somewhere else'.

'Waiora is a strong play, which, despite its domestic setting, is of epic proportions.' Susan Budd, Dominion

With a foreword by Roma Potiki and an afterword by Judith Dale.
