 Dog & Bone         Ragged, The

Dog & Bone

Synopsis:
The second Taranaki War is raging and New Plymouth is a garrison town under siege. The British Imperial Army have returned to England, leaving the country to Maori and Pakeha to fight over He iwi tahi tatou no longer. To the victor the spoils: a lush unspoilt country ripe for farming and the right to rewrite history as they see fit. To the loser: the slow, systematic loss of everything held dear, starting with their land and freedom. But in 1869 the war is a far cry from the south coast of Wellington, where Taiki Kenning has settled in marital bliss with his Pakeha bride Hannah-May. There, Taiki and Hannah-May keep the homefires of Te Miti burning, in the hope that one day his people will return. But as a storm brews overhead and Hannah-May begins to dream of terrors in the forest, a pack of dogs appear with a warning for Taiki. the underTOW project is a series of plays that aim to cast light on the legacy and unknown stories of our country's founding document, Te Tiriti o Waitangi
