Transmission & The Haka Party Incident
Paperback Edition: 1
Two exceptional verbatim plays in one volume.
Transmission captures the New Zealand governments response to the beginning ofthe COVID-19 pandemic, centring around the decision to lock down the country in early-2020. Crafted primarily from interviews conducted with Jacinda Ardern, Grant Robertson and Michael Baker, it provides an intimate insight into the professional and personal experiences of those instrumental to the decision-making, and the responsibility that comes with it.
The Haka Party Incident revives an important, near-forgotten day in New Zealands history,1 May 1979, when a group of Maori students and activists challenged a mock haka tradition led by students at the University of Aucklands Engineering School. The play explores the confrontation and its aftermath through verbatim dialogue and transcripts, revealing the complexities of race relations in Aotearoa, which are still seen today.
