Abstract
Reviews of playscripts: Birds, by Dianna Fuemana; Urban Hymns, by Miria George; The Gangster's Paradise, by Leki Jackson-Bourke; and Still Life with Chickens, by D.F. Mamea, all published by Playmarket New Zealand Play Series; Tala, 2023.
The latest offerings from the Playmarket New Zealand Play Series feature four separately published contemporary Pasifika plays from Aotearoa, all edited by Lisa Fuemana and published under the Tala imprint. The four works comprise a compelling mix of plays originally performed between 2009 and 2019.
The collection recognises the important voices and contributions of Pasifika artists in the country's performing arts, and is unified by a common focus on Aotearoa's significant Pasifika communities.
