Be Like Billy?

In this new work, Rutene Spooner shares his personal relationship with his childhood hero, Billy T.

World Premiere of a Court Theatre commission written by Rutene Spooner.

Who do we laugh with, and why are we laughing?

Infused with music and humour, Be Like Billy? speaks to our national identity, touching on what being Māori, being a performer and being a Kiwi meant in the 80s, and what it means now.
