This is a New Zealand play called Niu Sila - Which is Samoan for New Zealand. It is a play set in NZ in the 60's.
It is about a A man called Peter who runs into an old childhood friend called Ioane - a Samoan boy he grew up with. Throughout the play he reminisces about their childhood and how growing up white versus Pasifka had such different implications on their success and life as an adult.
Please read through it - understand the humour, the closeness of the to boys and the underlying racial tones that followed Ioane his whole life and how that set him up for his future.
