Notes	'Black Friars is a group of first generation New Zealand-born Pacific actors who challenge stereotypes and preconceptions of their community through theatre. Based in South Auckland, the company was formed in 2006 with the purpose 'to keep talented young Pasifikan people off the street and on the stage'. By showcasing their stories, they aim to break down the stereotypes and prejudice they face as young Pacific Islanders. ' (From press Release at Theatreview website, May 2011).
