Fast-forward to now and Waiora is being restaged in Christchurch, Jason's new script Glimmer is about to open and Rawiri will perform in both te reo Māori and English in the Briar Grace-Smith play Purapurawhetu.
Justin Gregory gets the two together to talk about the state of Māori theatre in 2016 and to take them back to Waiora.
