Simon Labrosse may be broke and unemployed but he is not downhearted. Because Simon is alive. Undeterred by rising debts and defiant in the face of global capitalism, Simon has just birthed his next big idea. A show about his life.
Aided by nihilistic poet Leo and self help enthusiast Natalie, Simon will demonstrate a series of unique, affordable services that give meaning and purpose to an ordinary life. And it’s quite a selection. He’ll finish your sentences, flatter your ego, clean your conscience and be your emotional stuntman, audience and friend. But you must move fast on this special introductory offer, because he has rent to pay, a plane to catch and he needs to replace his ghetto blaster.
An existential farce that explores the difficulties of living a meaningful existence, in an ever expanding global, capitalist world. Seven Days in the Life of Simon Labrosse is a funny, surreal and moving experience from one of Canada’s leading playwrights, Carole Fréchette. Nominated for The Governor General Award Canada and a popular staple on the European comedy theatre circuit, Seven Days in the Life of Simon Labrosse is a funny and surreal experience.
This first-time UK production is directed by Tony Wadham who also stars alongside Elaine Bastible and Rob Wyn Jones with composition from Jules Maxwell.
