He Reo Aroha

Hi guys, sorry this is late but I could not get on at home so have come into school this afternoon just for you!! Anyhow, your response is now due Thursday.

We were fortunate to attend the theatre show - He Reo Aroha. The writers of this show describe this show as " The script and story being written, then it was workshopped on the rehearsal floor with the cast and crew. Through the workshopping process there is room for the actors to physically explore what the writers have created."
Having viewed the production describe what you think the above description means.

The writers consider the themes that is focuses on as being:- love, commitment and choices (in life). Write three sentences to summarise what He Reo Aroha is about, speaking about these themes.

He Reo Aroha told the story of six different characters (can you identify them all?)using two different languages, across two countries, with all the characters leading very different lives.
Give your opinion of the production considering these facts.

Finally the writers consider this a very important play for New Zealanders to see. Do you agree or disagree with them? (don't forget to justify your opinion i.e say why!)
