On September 25 and 26, MAGS Drama invited family and friends to come and watch the Level 2 production of Dawn Raids.
This play is a comedy-drama written by Samoan/New Zealand playwright Oscar Kightley (Sione’s Wedding, Niu Sila, BroTown).
The play looks back at the 1970s, when Pasifika were subjected to dawn raids by the police, who were supposedly cracking down on alleged illegal overstayers.
HOD Drama Miss Hughes said, “The cast did themselves and their whānau proud by treating this play with the respect and hard work that it deserved.
“We received extremely positive responses from the audience, including a lot of people who felt moved by these young actors and the story they were telling. It was a successful season, and it rounds off for us the last production of 2024.”
