Niu Sila by Dave Armstrong and Oscar Kightley

Funny and poignant, irreverent yet touching, Niu Sila is a play about friendship spanning over thirty years, two cultures and one multicultural neighbourhood. In 1970s New Zealand, six-year-old Ioane Tafioka - fresh off the boat from a Pacific Island - moves in next door to six-year-old Kiwi kid Peter Burton. They begin an unlikely friendship that will change their lives. Peopled with drunken uncles, crooked ministers, left-wing university professors, a no-nonsense Polynesian matriach, and an entire local Indian cricket team, this halarious yet thought-provoking story will delight and challenge. Performed by Whangārei Boys High School drama students.
