Jon wakes up with a severe head injury, no memory of who he is, or where on earth he’s ended up.
In a bizarre new-wave clinic named The Sobcentre he listens to the strange stories of the sad people who live there attempting to understand their lives – or is he just trying to feel better about himself?
With an energetic original live soundtrack by Josh Christopher, this fast-paced black comedy by writer Guy Woods whirls through a surreal world of selfishness, exploitation and hope to find out what sadness can REALLY be worth. Expect laughs, movement, and an original rhythmic soundscape.
“I want to care. I just don’t have much room right now.”
Guy Woods has just been announced as Writer in Residence at National Theatre Scotland.
Director Benedict Crosby has worked as an Assistant Director on Barbie, Saltburn, Napoleon & Maestro.
