First produced in 1984, Renée’s Wednesday to Come is considered a classic of New Zealand theatre. The play follows the women of an Ōtaki family during the Great Depression of the 1930s and, for director Erina Daniels (Ngāti Wai), it's a story that has strong parallels with today.
Daniels has a rich history in the development of Māori theatre. Her production of Wednesday to Come is being led for the first time by Māori creatives, and with an important new twist: the story is told from the perspective of a mixed Māori Pākehā whānau.
Wednesday to Come opens at Wellington’s Circa Theatre on 30 July.
