Description

Waiora is a classic play from Aotearoa New Zealand. It was first published in 1997 and has been widely studied in schools and universities.

This new edition includes updated text, a new foreword and study notes.

It is 1965 and a Maori family prepares a hangi to celebrate a birthday with their Pakeha guests. Hone Kouk as much-celebrated play touches on the impact of colonisation, urban drift and the tension between the past and the future.

Former Prime Minister Helen Clark is a fan of the play. She said I only wish that more New Zealanders knew about it and were able to see it. Poignant and vital, this play explores ideas of home and belonging.
