What does it mean to forgive? Spanning four decades, from village life in Niue in the 1970s to the suburbs of Ponsonby, this award-winning play follows the three brothers’ struggle to break free from their father.
Vao is charming, handsome, ambitious. To his three sons, he is a god. But he carries rage in his fists and danger in his eyes. This complicated character will be portrayed by the phenomenally talented Beulah Koale (Samoa: Sala’ilua, A’ele. Tuvalu: Nanumea), star of Silo Theatre’s A View From The Bridge.
It’s an uplifting coming-of-age story, as Seki, To and Sau emerge into adulthood, each affected by their father in different ways.
