HIGHLIGHT: FRIDAY NIGHT THEATRE
What makes a man, and what might we be doing wrong?
A study of wounded leaders, boarding school survival and the journey of child to 'adult’.
With an exquisite physical performance, an occasional table and chair, a subtle soundscape and only the protagonist’s side of the dialogue, we are given an intimate portrait of how one boy becomes a man. The question then is what do we make of the result? Who carries the scars?
Winner of The Fringe Review’s Outstanding Theatre Award [Brighton 2018], this remarkable performance by Duncan Henderson [MKP/ABOB] brings his "The Polished Scar" to Silver Sky.
This is a life seen through snapshots of what might be, character defining moments, where personal traits are smothered or defined.
‘One of the most remarkable theatrical productions I’ve seen in years’ – Fringe Review
‘A brilliant performance that is nuanced and easily commands our attention’ – Broadway Baby
‘This is a one-man display of acting virtuosity’ – Fringe Guru
HIGHLIGHT: MUSIC AND PERFORMERS
The Stretch Tent stage will be abuzz with music and performers over the weekend from the MKP and WW communities.
