Description This theatrical two-hander was inspired by Armstrong's upbringing. Two childhood mates, a Samoan and a Palagi, discover cultural difference and commonality in a '60s suburb. Synopsis: Playmarket A rich and satisfying experience with complex currents rippling beneath its warm, delightful, generous flow. It's the sort of play that reminds us why theatre was invented…a character-based comedy of insight that confronts us with our real world but doesn't preach…it deserves to enjoy a long and fruitful life both here and abroad.
