Description 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 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. From the same out-of-the-box team that produced the award-winning 360 - a theatre of recollections, including writer Carl Bland and director Ben Crowder, Te Pō leaves no theatrical stone unturned in its mission to give us a unique view of the world. Find something to hook your heart on at this original, extraordinary and moving show.
