Hoki Mai Tama Ma Tickets

Hoki Mai Tama Ma…is a surprise package: theatrically inventive, and then, late in the piece, revealing itself as a complex, challenging and extremely rewarding statement of cultural identity. It’s got great thematic intent. As for the sheer entertainment quota, Hoki Mai wells up over its 90 minutes on a rising tide of charm, punctuated by some really funny sequences. Yep, it’s a very good night out. - Metro

This play, deeply grounded in tikanga Maori, subverts a lot of assumptions. It couldn’t have been written last century; it might make Winston Peters uncomfortable, and Hone Harawira too; and yet what it has to say about whanau should thrill us all. - Metro

Those masks, for all that they liberate the actors, involve risk. Has tapu been trodden on here? Tukiwaho told Metro last month he doesn’t even know. But whatever the risk with those masks, the play takes a far bigger one with the things it has to say about who we are. - Metro
