Description A Samoan man arrives late to dinner at a friend's place and finds two palagi strangers in their underwear. They tie him up and terrorise him. This is only the beginning of a dinner party none of them will ever forget. Ranterstantrum is the latest work from Samoan playwright Victor Rodger. Provovcative and compelling, the play prods the delicate, often hidden subject of racial prejudice thriving in middle-class New Zealand.
