Next month Ana Scotney (Ngai Tūhoe), described as a “Māori millennial on fire” by Silo Theatre, will bring her solo show to the Q Theatre. A love letter to Aotearoa, ScatterGun: After the Death of Rūaumoko has been updated with renewed vigour.

“Would I have ever expected that there would be a government taking a possible amendment of Te Tiriti to select committee to discuss changing Te Tiriti O Waitangi-the Treaty of Waitangi? Only in my worst nightmare,” Scotney tells Spy.

Scotney, 29, shot to fame starring in such films as The Breaker Upperers, Millie Lies Low and Bad Behaviour, and television shows Shortland Street and Wellington Paranormal.

ScatterGun: After the Death of Rūaumoko is on from April 18 to May 4 at Q Theatre in Auckland. Tickets are available from Silotheatre.co.nz
