Uma Lava at Circa Theatre

From the award-winning Kiwi/Samoan playwright of last year’s smash hit At the Wake, comes the world premiere season of Uma Lava.

Three strangers – a lesbian academic, a closeted right-wing politician and a promiscuous reverend with a penchant for juicy spoken word poetry – walk into a room. It’s hate at first sight. But this isn’t just any room they’ve walked into as they’re about to find out when they try to leave….

Starring Anapela Polata’ivao (Wild Dogs Under My Skirt), Robbie Magasiva (Wentworth) and Goretti Chadwick (Still Life with
Chickens), three of the Pasefika theatre world’s most celebrated actors, Uma Lava is a riotous, irreverent comedy of terrors where no sacred cow is left unslaughtered.
