Description Frangipani Perfume brings fresh insight into the reality of Pacifc Island women in NZ. Urale examines the tension between tradition and the reality of living in contemporary Western society. This is a powerful and accessible play, defined by its dyanmic characterisations, and skating along the borders between broad comedy, feminist politics and the gentle lyricism of images and language originating in the natural beauty of the Pacific Islands. Synopsis: Playmarket.
