Death is portrayed as a sympathetic figure in a dressing gown who is with us all the time, but who only comes into Duck's consciousness towards the end of his life. It is warm, poignant and witty."--Anthony Browne, The Guardian</div><div></div><div></div><div>Sitting stage-left is Time, whose commentary links the wordless interaction of Duck and Death, filling out the details of their story. Hugh Brown's narration is a model of soft-spoken clarity and sensitivity, absorbingly delivered in a way which neutralises the potential anxieties inherent in the play's explicit treatment of mortality. Brown's mesmerisingly tender way of manipulating the props in front of him has the same becalming influence. There are sad, serious things about to happen, he seems to be intimating, but you have no need to be afraid of them. As he shifts the tiny wooden duck emblematically placed in front of him to a variety of locations, you feel his empathy, and accept the inevitability of what must happen to Duck eventually.</div><div></div><div> df19127ead</div>
