Phil Nichol performs the world premiere of Dave Florez’s darkly comic, twisted and powerful theatrical monologue, directed by triple Fringe First winner, Hannah Eidinow. Read more …
Join Kevin at his local caf’ and take a surreal journey into his inner world from childhood trauma to his obsession with beautiful waitress, Daina. Kevin’s warped worldview collides with reality as he tries to explain sex, love and longing but gets lost along the way. An absurdist monologue with more twists than the back road from Slough to Reading.
Guided by director Hannah Eidinow, Nichol brings a lot of energy to the presentation, perhaps to the detriment of what coherence there is, and the hour that began as a clear and fascinating character study ends looking more like a contentless audition piece and showcase for the actor’s versatility.
