Event Details
Enjoy the stage adaptation of the hit film Red, White and Brass by Auckland Theatre company at the ASB Waterfront Theatre with your family this winter.
Itâs 2011 in Wellington and the seventh Rugby World Cup is just around the corner. Reprising his film role, John-Paul Foliaki stars as Maka, a Tongan superfan, who will do whatever it takes to score tickets for the most important game of their lives â the Tonga versus France Rugby World Cup game.
When Maka and his cousin Veni fail in getting tickets, they decide to form a traditional Tongan marching band for the pre-match entertainment, just so they can go to the game. The only problem is, the band doesnât exist and Maka has four weeks to put one together.
With the help of his famili, his mates and local church members, Maka rallies together a band of misfits who know nothing about marching, nor do they have any instruments.
What starts out as just a cynical scam to see a rugby game becomes a journey of self-discovery in which Maka and Veni will learn the importance of their Tongan culture, their community, and what really matters in life.
Inspired by an amazing âstraight-upâ true story and with bucketloads of Tongan mÄfana (warmth), Red, White and Brass is a story of friendship, family and fearlessly standing up for what you believe in.
