Description A play reading.
'Using Satre's ‘No Exit’ as a starting point - three people, who hate each other's guts, trapped in a room from which there can be no escape - I've made each of the characters Samoan to give the tale an unabashedly and unapologetically Polynesian spin.'
Victor Rodger, September 2017.

Further Information 'In Samoan ua uma means the end. As in period. Full stop. But uma lava means more than just full stop, it means this really is it. Which means it's a fitting title for a play which features three characters who have reached the end of the road, although not in a way that they ever imagined.' - Victor Rodger, September 2017.
