Ahoy me’ hearties! its giveaway time. Margaret Mahy’s rollicking and funny pirate adventure, makes for a brilliant family outing. 

We have a family ticket to giveaway from Tim Bray Theatre Company to see The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate live show in the April school holidays at The Pumphouse Theatre in Takapuna.  A family pass is for 4 people so you can choose which show you want to see.

About the show

The Man Whose Mother was a Pirate tells the story of Sam, an ordinary man who wears an ordinary suit and who works in an ordinary office. But his mother is an extraordinary mother – she’s a pirate and yearns to see the sea again.

A wonderful and madcap adventure ensues as they travel to the sea, with much audience involvement. You and your children will adore this all-time favourite story by New Zealand’s literary treasure, Margaret Mahy.
