Synopsis

In ancient times, the sun raced swiftly across the sky, leaving days too short for people to complete their tasks. Frustrated, they lamented the fleeting daylight. Maui, a clever and determined figure, devised a bold plan to slow the sun's journey, ensuring longer days for everyone. This play brings to life a traditional Māori legend, highlighting themes of ingenuity and perseverance.
