From Afternoons, 1:35 pm on 14 March 2024

A new play premiering in May will take audiences inside the iconic Crown Lynn crockery factory.

It's titled 'The Handlers', and the story delves into the lives of three of Māori women working at the West Auckland factory in the 1970s.

It will debut at Auckland's Te Pou Theatre on the 16th of May and run until June 2nd.

 Poata Alvie McKree is the playwright behind the production, and she talks to Mark.
