Bats Theatre Presents Te Kaupoi June 10-26
By: Gabrielle Sierra Jun. 07, 2010
In the not too distant future, internal terrorism has rocked New Zealand. Maori who protested against the government's abolishment of Maori seats are widely blamed for civil unrest. The most notorious protester - Te Kaupoi - runs a pirate radio show that encourages Maori to gather and overthrow the illegal government.
On the barren plains of the North Island's central volcanic plateau, a mysterious young woman, Sarah, lies unconscious - bloodied and beaten. Zeke Edwards is a cowboy on his last circuit before the government closes internal travel. His mother, Mary (aka Mere), lives in the old family homestead; planting trees and stumbles across Sarah.
A raunchy political drama by award-winning playwright Whiti Hereaka and directed by Nancy Brunning.
