Description A programme for International Year of the Child, devised by Murray Lynch and the company. 'A melange of childhood reminiscences…On the whole, Lynch seemed obsessed with the sexual problems of puberty. Certainly the final catalogue of nursery rhymes chanted frantically against the counting of 'coming, ready or not' suggested the unwilling propulsion into adulthood… Evening included Ian Knowles performing Bruce Mason's Christmas at Te Parenga'.
