It's one thing for a film festival to go online - we looked at this on the show last week - but what about a full-on theatre festival? The annual Koanga Festival showcases new Maori plays and playwrights. This year the organizers will be pre-recording the in-development plays and then premiering them on YouTube during the festival period. After that, they'll be made available - free of charge - through the host theatre venue, Te Pou's social media channels. Lynn Freeman talks with Amber Curreen, who's been heavily involved in the reimagined Koanga Festival, and with playwright Tainui Tukiwaho, who has two plays in the festival - Willie's Wananga on Wheels and Found in Translation. They belong to a part of the Koanga Festival called Whytangi??
