A thoughtful, subtle exploration of how to present trauma and grief on stage; an audience giving a moment of time and finding a little glimmer of beauty within.”— Tim Bano, The Stage

Doug Crossley has landed the role of Doug Crossley, ‘the part of a lifetime’ he calls it, in this complicated and funny self-referential play (with songs) about suicide. He performs a song about falling in love with a goat, and other flights of fancy, to distract him from getting to the point. It’s a bit of stand up, a bit of story, some music, and some strikingly beautiful images – like his friend represented in 72 pages of blank paper scattered on the floor. Despite the lightness of tone and Crossley’s wonderfully warm presence, Crossley is not remotely flippant about his subject. No methods mentioned, no glamorisation. Instead, a thoughtful, subtle exploration of how to present trauma and grief on stage; an audience giving a moment of time and finding a little glimmer of beauty within.
