The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate (Tim Bray stage adaptation with music composed by Christine White)
Ahoy me’ hearties! A pirate adventure, which makes for a fun family outing. And children will adore this all-time favourite story by New Zealand’s literary treasure, Margaret Mahy.
The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate tells the story of Sam, an ordinary man who wears an ordinary suit who works in an ordinary office. But extraordinarily, his mother is a pirate who yearns to see the sea again.
A wonderful and madcap adventure ensues as they travel to the sea, with much audience involvement.
