Toon time for loony islanders.
(From The Dominion Post)
Byline: CARDY Tom
Playwright Oscar Kightley gives Tom Cardy a giggle as he prepares his raggedy troupe of Samoan characters for rebirth as a television cartoon series.
ON STAGE, comedy troupe Naked Samoans have always been partly slapstick and their storylines a bit wacky. So is it really a surprise that the group are to be turned into TV cartoon characters next year?
"This series is based on the characters we created in the Naked Samoans and so it's very exciting. It's a whole new world. They'll live on in animated form. It's going to be massive," says an excited Oscar Kightley.
