Ben, a young fifth-generation Chinese New Zealander travels to the present-day Hokianga to look for the bones of his great great grandfather. Driven by his father's dying wish, he encounters some unusual ‘locals' – who may or may not be cheeky ghosts. It's also the story of Kwan, a man who emigrates to NZ in the 1800s and has to decide where he belongs.
Five roles are for Chinese actors and 1 for a Māori actor plus a chorus ideally Chinese and 4 musicians required to play Chinese instruments.
