The Culture North Night Show
A fabulous highly recommended Night Show. This production re-enacts the 1100-year story of New Zealand and the birth of our nation: the arrival of Maori and the first European settlers and the events leading to the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, New Zealand's founding document. The story comes to life with stunning drama and vibrant culture.
