About this event
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.
