AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Imagine if all First Nations people from around the world stood together — we'd be too strong." That's a message playwrights Nathan Maynard and Jamie McCaskill hope audiences will take away from Hide the Dog, an adventurous trans-Tasman creation that opens at the Sydney Festival in January. The play tells the story of a palawa girl Niarra and Maori boy Te Umuroa trying to save a Tasmanian tiger they have found by taking it across the ocean to Aotearoa in a hybrid palawa/Maori canoe.
