(Interview done 20/01/2026)

#IslandTime talanoa with Tofiga & Ina: Circa Theatre marks its 50th Jubilee by spotlighting the future of Aotearoa theatre with D THINGS N SUCH, a bold new production from The Gentle Boys.

Born from a desire to challenge traditional theatre forms, D THINGS N SUCH fuses live performance with the rhythm of TikTok culture, and slapstick laughing samoans energy to the theatre stage.

We are joined by  Albert Latailakepa, Brett Taefu, Caleb Teaupa, Axel Iva, and Sean Rivera, guided by Invercargill-born and bred creative Seiyan Thompson Tonga.

Friday 13 – Saturday 28 Feb
