Ka Tahi, Ka Rua, Ka Toru, Ka Wh

"This volume celebrates the history of the solo play in Aotearoa New Zealand by showcasing four examples of solo work created since the 1990s. Kura is stuck, working in a tomato sauce factory, dreaming of a richer life. In Ng Pou Whine, aunties, mums and mates inspire intergenerational heroism and self-discovery. Fifteen-year-old Chloe reckons that the internet is even more real than real life. Social pressures are about to collide, forever changing her relationship to justice. 4 Billion Likes! perfectly captures the turbulence of youth. Explorer. Navigator. Legend. Multiple p¿±rakau thread together to celebrate Kupes discovery of Aotearoa. His love for his people, his dreams and his heroism, lead to a climactic battle with a giant Wheke. Ka Tito Au is a stream of rich poetic consciousness. What does it take to process the death of a friend? A bit of revolution, a Backstreet Boys soundtrack, nineties nostalgia and a whole lot of chalk. A fist-pump for finding your tribe, My Best Dead Friend is joyful comedy from a heavy heart. From the domestic to the mythic, these are four intimate epics"--Publisher.
