Description Maori and other Polynesians are expressing their sense of injustice and there is a political commitment to bringing about a real sharing of power. … The play suffers from bad writing… The roles were not convincingly written and it was hard to bring cardboard figures to life… There is no question about Thompson's political commitment … However, no matter how commmitted the director, he cannot put the audience on the spot if the situation created in the play does not convince.
