HUI (Years 11-13)

Mitch Tawhi Thomas Aotearoa / New Zealand

I used to pretend I didn’t have a family, I wasn’t born anywhere, from nowhere

Tina

Sometimes all there is left is family...even if you hate their guts.

Mitch Tawhi Thomas' new play Hui relates with devastating clarity and courage, a story about whānau, secrets, lies, shame and the challenge of defying Māori tradition.

After 20 years, four estranged brothers are reunited upon the death of their father. What ensues is a visceral, charged and stormy night as the brothers grieve for their dead father, sort through tangled recollections of the past and struggle to articulate their brotherly love.

Under the direction of 2012 New Zealand Arts Foundation Laureate Award recipient Rachel House (The Māori Troilus and Cressida, Wild Dogs Under My Skirt) expect some full-on intensity and dynamic physicality driving Mitch Tawhi Thomas' powerful words.

Teachers note: Intense content-includes swearing.
