Two Guitars - now showing!
Nā Jamie McCaskill
Director Carrie Green
Billy and Te Po are two pretty meke musicians about to smash the biggest night of their lives. But backstage, the super tūturu competition they’re in has them thinking: ‘umm…are we Māori enough for this gig?’ Award-winning playwright Jamie McCaskill is joined by Golden Guitar winner Cameron Clayton in this musical journey that explores the world of third-gen Māori who’ve missed the reo bus and find themselves a bit lost.
