It’s 1840 and all the players are here at the bottom of the world, at the dawn of the great new British colony: Port Nicholson, Wellington, New Zealand.

Toi Whakaari New Zealand Drama School is excited to present The Undertow: The Ragged, the first instalment of writer Helen Pearse-Otene’s quartet of plays about Wellington.

The Ragged explores the early relationships between settlers, the New Zealand Company, and tangata whenua as the settlers try to find their own place to call home.

Follow the struggles of the ordinary, yet extraordinary people who called Wellington home in 1840.

Directed by Regan Taylor and featuring the work of Second Year Acting, Second and Third Year Design and Management, Second Year Costume and Set & Props students from Toi Whakaari.

By arrangement with Playmarket NZ

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.
