Tawata Productions Aotearoa / New Zealand

Remember George Nepia? Husband, father, farmer, singer, rebel... Invincible

Leading Maori playwright Hone Kouka's award-winning play I, George Nepia celebrates the life of a talented young East Coast lad from humble beginnings who invented the spiral punt, crafted the crash tackle and was thrust into global rugby superstardom.

Tawata Productions' eloquent play brings enamoured footy fans and theatre lovers together on a journey into the spirit of our nation in a different age. Graceful and mesmerising, Jarod Rawiri as Nepia provides an enchanting and poetic peek into the heart, mind and life of an extraordinary man and sporting legend.

Winner of four Chapman Tripp Awards in 2011, including Production, Director and Actor of the Year as well as Most Promising Director for Jason Te Kare in his directorial debut, I, George Nepia is a heartfelt homage to a bloody legend.
