| Description |
When you fall in love, death is the last thing you think of. A policeman, a priest and a blind man look for clues that will lead them to the missing playwright Bruce Mason. Where has he gone? What made him leave his desk and vanish into the night? And what is that seagull at the window trying to say? For all of Te Pō's odd characters, finding Bruce Mason has become a matter of life, death and catching a big fish. Te Pō is an eloquent and surprising comedy punctuated by Māori showband songs. It’s about searching for someone you have loved and lost and finding them again. |
