Description 'The show opens with three of the actors singing in Niuean and in flawless harmony, setting the stage perfectly. This show has all the elements of a great production – excellent dramatics, physicality, musicality and above all humour. ' … 'Key themes are played on in a magnificently mischievous manner, including religion, respect for elders, values, tradition, displacement and poverty. I was very surprised that in a Niuean play you can experience bat hunting, the ghost of a granddad passed and numerous penis-related jokes that made half the audience wince while bursting into laughter'.
