CloseThree brothers. One last chance. No hope in hell…
The Gunwallow brothers are in deep trouble. Slim’s scrapyard has gone belly-up. Dwayne owes money to some bad people. And Mark’s in love with dodgy Tina from down the pub. As if that’s not enough, their dad’s just popped his clogs and left them on the brink of bankruptcy.
This once great Cornish family has lost everything, but there’s one faint glimmer of hope that might save them from disaster… a legendary gold mine lost somewhere in the sun-baked wastes of the Arizona desert.
Only trouble is, no one who’s ever ventured onto Superstition Mountain has lived to tell the tale…
Blending the high-concept spirit of Hollywood blockbusters with an epic musical score, innovative film and powerful performances from three real Cornish brothers, Superstition Mountain is a dark comedy adventure exploring the intimate bonds and savage divides of brotherly love.
Writer Carl Grose is also a member of leading UK company Kneehigh Theatre. As well as performing with them, his writing credits for the company include the acclaimed Tristan & Yseult.
“… charismatic storytelling that stirs the imagination… As family myths dissolve under scrutiny, the results are both funny and tender…” The Guardian
“A ‘must see’ show if ever there was one. If you haven’t already seen o-region’s super Superstition Mountain, then I urge you to do so…” The Cornishman
1hr 30mins (incl. interval)
contains adult themes and language. recommended for ages 12+

Hi Alison
It's a piece of theatre which draws on filmic elements. It's taking place in our studio and promises to be great!
