Adventures of Wound Man & Shirley by Chris Goode
Thursday 23 April to Saturday 25 April 7:30pm
£8/5
A new solo performance by “British theatre's greatest maverick talent" (The Guardian).
Shirley is a teenage boy. He's a dreamer, a bit of a loner, and a fan of desperately uncool pop music. He's also hopelessly in love with a classmate at school who barely knows he exists. Then, one night, a mysterious figures moves into his ordinary surburban street. Wound Man is an unconventional superhero, who happens to have a vacancy for a teenage side-kick...
The Adventures of Wound Man and Shirley tells the story of two unlikely friends and the adventures they share. The show combines intimate storytelling, black humour, hand-drawn animation and original music into a bedtime-tale - comic-book - super-hero story about growing up and getting braver.
Suitable for ages 14+.
