Directed by Finn den Hertog | Cast - Martin Donaghy, Francesca Hess
A new comedy-drama about how the power of stories can overcome the darkest moments in life.
Two people are trying to tell the story of Robert, who isn’t sure who is in charge of his own narrative and whether he even wants to be in the story of his life anymore…
Oliver Emanuel’s new play is about being able to overcome our lowest moments in life by telling stories, and how they might possibly save us all.
Co-presented with Aberdeen Performing Arts and Ayr Gaiety.
