Bruce Mason began his famous solo play, The end of the golden weather (first performed in 1959), with the words: ‘Let me take you on a voyage into that territory of the heart that we call childhood.’ The play, which Mason performed over 1,000 times, was set on Auckland’s Takapuna Beach. It also became a major success as a film in 1991. The sound clip is a short extract from the play.
