Jeannie Once
RENEE
The eagerly-awaited completion to the
trilogy begun by Wednesday to Come and
Pass It On.
'Jeannie, whose great-granddaughter and
namesake is to become one of the fighters
and stayers in 51, is shown as a wonderfully
solid woman, full of humour, compassion,
and the Irish gift of the gab ... On Renee's
achievement as a people's playwright it
undoubtedly sets the seal.'—Helen Watson
White, Dominion Sunday Times.
$12.95
Broken Arse
BRUCE STEWART
Broken Arse was one of the successes of the
1990 International Festival of the Arts. Set
in a prison, it is a powerful and disturbing
examination of the effects of racial tension
and institutional dehumanisation.
Bruce Stewart is the author of a book of
short stories, Tama (1989), and has written
for radio and television. He set up the first
ever work trust, and founded Tapu Te
Ranga Marae in Island Bay, Wellington.
