London. Auckland. Gisborne.

Whero Mahana is a musician with songs of grit and tears pulsing through her veins. In London to chase a dream far away from New Zealand , she is presented with a diary that confirms her longing for home. As the lines between her past and present fracture, her father’s stories force Whero to make painful choices about where her dreams really lie. A play about Aroha.

“Whero’s New Net will be a New Zealand classic. Be one of the first to see it” - Renee Liang, Lumiere Reader.
