Rowley Habib — also known as Rore Hapipi — is one of the first writers to bring a genuinely Māori perspective to New Zealand stage and screen. His play Death of the Land is seen as a landmark in the development of Māori theatre. In 1983 Habib won a Feltex Award for land rights drama The Protestors, part of a trio of pioneering one-off plays for television.
I had the problem that nobody wanted to touch Māori theatre with a ten-foot pole. A hundred-foot pole really.
– Rowley Habib, recalling the early days of Māori theatre
