Reviews of 'Reporting Live from the Battle of Gate Pa'

This play is one of the most creative and helpful resources I have seen for teaching the New Zealand Land Wars. It is strongly applicable to the social science strand of the New Zealand curriculum, both in social studies and as a fantastic tool for any school teaching early New Zealand History in their senior curriculum. Jenny has done an excellent job of researching the details of the battle of Gate Pa, the key people and their perspectives. These details are woven through an action packed script in a way that will keep students engaged and connected to the facts of the event. I recommend this play to any teacher looking for creative and kinesthetic material for their classroom.

I have read the play and enjoyed it very much. It must have been difficult to write. I can just see school pupils really enjoying putting it on.
