Love to say goodbye
Honour the Polynesian Panthers’ 50th anniversary with a series of readings of Oscar Kightley’s acclaimed play Dawn Raids, presented alongside other special projects from No.3 Roskill Theatre.
At the base of Puketāpapa, the state house used as the location for Toa Fraser’s film No.2
is brought to life once more – before its demolition – as the setting for a homecoming season of theatre classics and new works from No.3 Roskill Theatre, directed by Tanya Muagututi’a (Pacific Underground).
“As a new generation of voices, who with our families endure the neighbourhood’s redevelopment, we are inspired by Toa Fraser, Oscar Kightley and the Polynesian Panthers. We pay homage to their revolutionary acts of aroha.” — No.3 Roskill Theatre
Love to say goodbye theatre works (FREE)
No.3 Roskill Theatre invite their neighbours to share an experience of high quality art performed by local rangatahi. Enjoy an evening with the newly formed theatre troupe as they present a plethora of original works reflective of their neighbourhood, their stories.
