Black Faggot
Black Faggot is a raw, funny, and deeply affecting two‑hander about queer Samoan identity in Aotearoa. Through rapid‑fire monologues and sharply drawn characters, it explores the tensions between faith, family, masculinity, and sexuality with honesty, humour, and heartbreak. Minimal in staging but huge in emotional impact, it remains a vital, confronting, and compassionate piece of Pasifika theatre.

Beneath the swearing and tough-guy bluster lies sharp social commentary that skewers everyone equally, creating an experience that is as thought-provoking as it is hilarious.
