Two of New Zealand's most well-known and celebrated creative voices have come together for a new staging of the iconic play Woman Far Walking.

Written by Witi Ihimaera and directed by Katie Wolfe, the play follows the life of a Māori woman born in 1840, the year the treaty of Waitangi was signed, as she travels through our history.

This version of the play is called Tiri: Te Araroa Woman Far Walking, and it has an updated script with English and te reo Māori weaved together.
