"This is no longer a country to be feared. It is time to take the reins and do the things that would otherwise not be done"

Direction: Colin McColl
Actor: Laurel Devenie
Design: Tony Rabbit, Kirsty Cameron, John Gibson

A crippled English woman arrives in a savage land charged with civilising the natives and, instead, discovers the key to her liberation.

Mary Ann Martin came to New Zealand in 1841, the young wife of New Zealand's first chief justice. They set up home in Parnell.

Intrepid, intelligent and possessing a great sense of humour, she disregarded her personal disability, set about learning Te Reo, established a makeshift hospital for Maori on the beach at Judges Bay and dared to dream of all that was possible in this brave new world.

"This unashamedly Pakeha view of early colonial history is surprisingly liberal, heartfelt and funny. Mary Ann Martin's acute observations of life for Maori and Pakeha settlers alike have uncanny resonances for us today." - Colin
