Duck, Death and the Tulip

If you love Duck, Death and the Tulip, the puppet show adaptation at this years Auckland Arts Festival shouldn't be missed.

Duck, Death and the Tulip is a strangely heart-warming story where Duck strikes up an unlikely friendship with Death.

The award-winning show is simple, unusual, warm and witty. With an original score by much-loved New Zealand composer Gareth Farr, Nina Nawalowalo's direction and sensitive performances by Little Dog Barking's Peter Wilson and Kenneth King, the story and its telling will intrigue and enchant adults and children alike.

Tuesday 8th March, 10.30am & 1pm

Thursday 10th March, 10.30am      

Friday 11th March, 1pm

Win a copy of Hello World! by Paul Beavis

Mr. and Mrs. Mo are busy painting the house, and the monster is bored ... until he gets a grand idea: he’s off to see the world! But his adventure becomes bigger than he expected, and the monster wishes Mrs. Mo had come after all—with some sandwiches.

To go in the draw, simply email your name and address to office@geckopress.com, subject line "Hello World". 

One winner will be drawn on 11 March, just in time to bring your copy along to Beavis's Wellington session.

Congratulations to last month's winner: Ruth Jasmat!
