Kila Kokonut Krew presents... KINGDOM OF LOTE

Lote made a promise to her late husband that must be fulfilled. She must ensure that one day their son will lead the Tongan rugby team to a victory as great as when they upset the mighty Wallabies in 1973.

Saia, the rugby star, and his twin sister Sela, a political star on the rise, do their best to live their lives by the very different standards of their Tongan motherland and their New Zealand reality. All while trying to please both their traditional mother Lote and their kiwi-as-kapa haka uncle Krak.

Kingdom of Lote is the exciting new comedy work by emerging New Zealand-born Tongan playwright Suli Moa, presented by Auckland's leading professional Pacific Island Theatre company, the Kila Kokonut Krew.

First presented at the Young Kila Writers playreading series in 2010, Kingdom of Lote has since been developed into New Zealand's first ever full-length Tongan play to be performed by a full Tongan cast with both English and Tongan dialogue.

When: 7.30pm, 17-21 May 2011
Where: Mangere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku, Corner Bader Drive and Orly Avenue, Mangere, South Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand
Cost: $20.00/$15.00
Tickets available from: Mangere Arts Centre - Ngā Tohu o Uenuku.
