  • Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine Identities
    1 Victoria University of Wellington School of English, Film, Theatre and Media Studies Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Sepelini Mua’au A thesis submitted to the University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of a Masters in Arts (Theatre) 2016 2 Blackout: Theatre, Rugby and Samoan Masculine identities Abstract This thesis examines key ideas concerning masculinity and Samoan identity, focusing on the external and internal pressures placed on Pacific Island athletes in New Zealand and abroad to inform the development of an original script, Blackout. In 2014, as part of an Honours script-writing course, I wrote a first draft for my first full- length play. Inspired by the work of Samoan playwright Oscar Kightley, Blackout is a play that intersects the story of four young Pacific Island boys in their last year of College with the journey of a talented young Pacific Islander in his mid-20s trying to make his way in the Professional Rugby world. This thesis is part of a practice- based research project, comprising a 60% theory-based thesis (25,000 words) and 40% practical component, developing the script through three workshop productions. The two working questions the thesis and production process centre on are, firstly how the experiences of young second generation Samoan males can be explored through a contemporary theatre text, enabling the research to develop the story and characters of the play. The second, how the development of this script can enhance an understanding of what it is to be an emerging playwright, grounding the piece in personal experiences and contributing discoveries for young Pacific Playwrights.
