Close“What makes you who you are? A name? An address? A random collection of experiences, a few memories? You are who you can prove you are. You are what people think. And that’s the easiest thing in the world to change.”
When successful advertising executive Charlie Hunt reaches breaking point and decides to disappear, he pays a visit to an old family friend on Southend seafront. Haunted by visitations from a pathologist who swears he is already lying flat out on her slab, he begins to re-live the nightmarish final hours that see his body retrieved from the Thames, stripped of everything that made him who he was.
Fin Kennedy’s extraordinary play is brought to life by the multi-award winning Warwick University Drama Society.
“Just occasionally you find a piece of new writing that restores your confidence in the future of theatre…an exciting, exhilarating, extremely funny and deeply distressing parable of contemporary consumerism.” – The Stage

A totally engrossing production in which, more than once during the photography of the dress rehearsal, I found I'd stopped snapping to watch the unravelling of the lead character.
