We talk to actor Jarod Rawiri about what it's like to hold a human brain, and how Māori can do so in a way that's culturally and spiritually safe.

Jarod plays Dr. Toby Sealey, one of the doctors who oversees the drug trial in The Effect. He has been on the stage and screens for years, with roles in shows like "The Brokenwood Mysteries", “Shortland Street”, "Friends Like Her" and "Duckrockers." 

Does love sit in the head or the heart? That’s the question posed by the award-winning play, The Effect. Originally staged in London in 2012, it’s been nominated for a 2024 Olivier Award for Best Revival after a return season at the National Theatre and has just premiered off-Broadway in New York.
