Te Pō Digital Education Pack
Written by Carl Bland, originally co-produced by the Auckland Arts Festival and New Zealand Festival. Education pack by Auckland Live & Nightsong.
About Te Pō:
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 Te Pō's odd characters, finding Bruce Mason has become a matter of life, death, and catching a big fish.
From the creators of Mr Red Light, 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.
