| Description |
A four-metre head is stuck on stage. He cannot move or fit through the door; he cannot exit. The situation is totally absurd; the predicament is extremely humorous; the journey is surreal, with a miraculous end. But Head never doubts how hugely important to the world he is; he doesn’t realise he’s a ‘no body’. The illusion of Head is funny and sometimes very sad, combining vaudeville with high technology to take the audience on a beautiful and comedic ride as the question is explored: Who the hell is that voice inside my Head? Winner of the Allied Domecq Wines Award for Most Original Production in the Chapman Tripp Theatre Awards 2005. COMMISSIONED FOR BATS Theatre and STAB 2005. CREATED BY Nightsong Productions, Chris Jannides and Theatre Stampede. PERFORMED BY Carl Bland, Peta Rutter, Ben Crowder and Scott Cotter. SET DESIGN BY John Verryt. VIDEO AND LIGHTING DESIGN BY Brad Gledhill. MUSIC COMPOSED BY John Gibson |
