"This is brave, original theatre making and it will be fascinating to see how this performer’s work develops.” The Planet Magazine, Cardiff
This is a show about wanting...
This is a show about wanting to win.
This is a show about wanting to win, winning once, and not ever winning again.
This is a show about lost opportunities, boats that are missed
Public personas, fakes and frauds
This is a show that strides the stage in a pair of borrowed cowboy boots
This is a show without competition
No odds on against
This is a show about being the best
Living a dream
Reliving the glory and remembering the shame
Hitting a Brick Wall explores popular cultures’ obsession with winning and winners. It replays a single moment of glory in a woman’s life. The work explores the theme of long-term disappointment and the frustration and fatigue that can come with ongoing failure.
