Miriama has an established New Zealand stage reputation, most notably as Hana in The Bach (Auckland Theatre Company) and Maia in The Prophet (Taki Rua). Naming Number Two marks her feature film debut, though she graces the small-screen regularly as a star of the long-running New Zealand television hospital drama Shortland Street.
