Description Remember George Nepia? Husband, father, farmer, singer, rebel... Invincible. Leading Māori playwright Hone Kouka's award-winning play I, George Nepia celebrates the life of a talented young East Coast lad from humble beginnings who invented the spiral punt, crafted the crash tackle and was thrust into global rugby superstardom. Tawata Productions' eloquent play brings enamoured footy fans and theatre lovers together on a journey into the spirit of our nation in a different age.
