A proud and spiritual woman, Aroha attempts to instruct her children in Pakeha ways. But the post-war world of the 1950s has arrived and she is left increasingly isolated as everything she loves and stands for comes under siege.

Auckland Theatre Company's ground-breaking production of Bruce Mason's classic drama captures New Zealand society on the cusp of change.

International award-winning actress and star of ONCE WERE WARRIORS, Rena Owen, returns home from Hollywood to star in New Zealand's greatest play.
