Written and directed by Renee
Liang. Starring Benjamin Teh and Paul Fagamalo with music by Robbie Ellis and
lighting design by Sam Mence
October 29th – November 1st
What would you do to represent?
Willy’s a
homestay Asian student. Mook’s Samoan and he’s been here
for ages. They’re best
mates at Timaru High. But when Willy decides his dream is to try out for the
All Blacks, mateship – and
everything else – is up for
grabs.
A comedy (mostly).
At breakneck pace, Ben Teh (The Bone Feeder, Odd Socks) and
Paul Fagamalo (Pollyhood, Where We Once Belonged) capture multiple
characters – including
a Samoan aiga, a bored class of thirteen year olds, two entire rugby teams
playing each other, and one sassy girl called George. Directed by Renee Liang
with live music by Robbie Ellis and lighting design by Sam Mence. Running time
75 minutes, suitable ages 9-99. FREE (bookings recommended).
