CRACKING

Wednesday 26th March

  • Description
  • Trailers & Video

When the world goes mad, do we inevitably go mad too? When Shôn playfully cracks an egg on his mother’s head, he has no idea real-life internet trolls will appear on his doorstep.

CRACKING takes on the battle between love and hate, asking what’s funny and where we draw the line. Part stand-up, part theatre CRACKING is a funny, touching and thought-provoking solo performance that sews together fact and fiction into one seamless whole making us wonder what’s real, what’s not and what’s gone wrong. This award-winning play about love and hatred celebrates how searching for connection beats disconnecting. CRACKING is a heart-warming and uplifting comic story about loving in the face of hatred.

“The Great Welsh Storyteller” – Lyn Gardner

Originally developed for BBC Radio 4, winner of the Tinniswood Award ‘Best Original Script of the Year’ in 2024.
Free post-show Q&A with Shôn after the show.

PART OF THEATRE CLUB:

A bit like a book club, simply purchase a Theatre Club ticket (by choosing the Theatre Club ticket type at no extra charge) and join like-minded theatre lovers in the bar for a pre-show chat.

We will provide some background to the production, the writer, the theatre company and the actors to get you started.  The Theatre Club area will be available for you to return to in the interval if you wish and, post-show, we invite you to continue the conversation at The Dog & Partridge where we have reserved a table for you. Come on your own or with a friend.
