PINAY

by Marianne Infante

This October we presented the triumphant first reading of Marianne Infante’s PINAY, the first Filipino Kiwi Bilingual play in New Zealand, as part of PATs continued development of this new and exciting work. 

Every day, people migrate to a new country hoping for "magandang kinabukassan", a better future. Hard headed and big hearted Mariella knows this reality all too well - but her free spirited daughter Alex is living another story entirely as she grapples with love and loss as a modern day Kiwi Filipino.
