Te Papakāinga

Thirteen years ago, something terrible occurred in the village of Te Papakāinga, sending repercussions throughout the community, where nothing is a secret, and life still very much revolves around the Pā. Years later, a teenage girl arrives, heralding a kind of terrible reckoning, where the very fabric of the community will be tested and stretched, and forgiveness and redemption may or may not be possible for its inhabitants, nor the whānau at the centre of the tragedy. 

 

Casting notes: Any gender is 'Trigger, the Horse'. Many doubling possibilities; most of the cast should be Māori.
