Synopsis: | Italy, 1944, a battle-torn theatre of war during WWII: the Allied onslaught stalls at Monte Cassino and the 28th Maori Battalion finds itself centre stage. A young Maori soldier goes out to steal food; an Italian takes cover in a stable. They find themselves trapped in a potentially deadly stand-off, but with the Germans just outside, their survival depends on co-operation. With music and comedy in Maori, Italian and English and some hilarious and moving characters, Strange Resting Places shines a light on the complex emotional bonds of New Zealand's wartime history and the three universals that Maori shared with the Italians - whanau, food and song - not to mention wily cunning, a love of vino and a passion for the ladies. Strange Resting Places is theatre crafted from extensive research, contemporary storytelling and personal experience. | |||||
