One of the few local premieres at the Auckland Arts Festival, Hui is a story audiences should be proud to see told.
After 20 years estranged, four brothers come back together to a small New Zealand town, to mourn their father . On a stormy night, the siblings are forced to confront what has been buried and what they have tried to forget, and work through two decades of lies, mistrust, broken promises, and shame to remember what whanau is all about.
Writer Mitch Tawhi Thomas has captured the essence of fighting against – and for – those blood bonds forcefully, and with director Rachel House at the helm, this promising story has been brought to life with the heart, empathy and passion it deserves.
The cast attack the story with zeal.
