Mama Moo

A widowed butcher falls for an animal rights activist and must navigate the presence of his dead wife’s ghost, his own dark side and a talking cow spirit to win the activist’s love — all while fighting to save a calf’s life in court.

Written by Auckland-based playwright Nimish Tanna and directed by much-acclaimed NZ theatre veteran Margaret-Mary Hollins, Mama Moo is a heartwarmingly absurd, hilarious yet deeply meaningful production. Blending humour, satire, live music, physical theatre and emotional storytelling, it explores ideas of compassion and coexistence

This marks an exciting new chapter for Prayas — after 20 years, Mama Moo pushes the boundaries of South Asian theatre in Aotearoa.
