What hand do we play in the making of monsters?

Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School is excited to present Fucking A, by Suzan-Lori Parks.

An otherworldly tale of a desperate mother's quest to free her beloved son from prison. In a town where women can be owned like chattels, and hungry children can be imprisoned for stealing a piece of meat, desperation and despair turns into rage and violence in the blink of an eye, and even the most wounded animal can become the most feared predator. In this wild-eyed blend of story and song, Suzan-Lori Parks' searing riff on Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter demands the audience to watch, to not look away, and to ask themselves the question: what hand do we play in the making of monsters?

This Graduation Production is the final major work by graduating students across Acting, Arts Management, Costume, Design and Set & Props. Directed by Keagan Carr Fransch.

A Tertiary Production of Fucking A by special arrangement with Samuel French Inc and The Play Bureau.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
