Te Tangi a te Tūī

A radical examination of power, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play confronts notions of theatre, race, and surveillance.

Written By: Jackie Sibblies Drury
Presented with: The Search Party (Vancouver)  
In partnership with b current Performing Arts (Toronto)


The Frasier family are getting ready for Grandma’s birthday party but things keep going wrong. Beverly wants everything to be perfect, but Jasmine won’t help, Dayton is more interested in the game, Tyrone is MIA, and Keisha—well, Keisha is just a teenager. 

From The Search Party—producer of the critically acclaimed and multi-award winning shows Stupid F*cking Bird, The Father, and Bunny—comes the Western Canadian premiere of Jackie Sibblies Drury’s Pulitzer Prize-winning drama.

“I can’t think in the face of you telling me who you think I am”—Keisha

“A glorious, scary reminder of the unmatched power of live theatre to rattle, roil and shake us wide awake.”
