Sons
A young half Samoan man goes to see his dying father after ten years of no contact. During his visit he sees a photograph of his half brother and sister whom he always knew existed but has never met. His assumption that his father will tell his siblings about him is painfully wrong.
Reviews
"...Sons is immaculate and poised, in the manner characteristic of Taki Rua and of the director, Theatre at Large's Christian Penny, who weaves together the different elements of the production very smoothly and elegantly."
- Stuart Young, NZ Herald 1999
