About the Book Theatre in New Zealand began as a tool of the British Empire, imported along with Christianity, seeds and other commodities as a way of acculturating the indigenous Maori population. In the decades since, it has been turned to different ends and is now a crucial outlet for the voices of the ever more diverse population of New Zealanders. This collection gathers some of the most interesting recent plays that engage explicitly with social issues, which are organized so that, together, they present a vivid picture of what it means to be living in New Zealand in the first decades of the twenty-first century, as people grapple with lingering colonialism and the increasing globalization of everyday life. About the Author Sharon Mazer</b> is Associate Professor of Theatre and Performance Studies at Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand.
