Truth's a Dog Must to Kennel
The Fool leaves King Lear before its violence peaks, then returns through virtual reality to confront the wreckage left behind.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
The piece follows the Fool from King Lear into a virtual world and back towards the tragedy he abandoned. The performer moves between an actor witnessing the darkening events as the Fool and a stand-up comedian speaking from the present, using those two positions to consider what remains after catastrophe both inside theatre and beyond it.
Shakespearean tragedy, virtual reality and scathing stand-up sit side by side, with the performance switching between character, comedian and an act of collective imagining.
formal experimentation, Shakespearean reframing, stand-up inside theatre and plays that blur fictional and real worlds.
