How You Gonna Live Your Dash

This shattering piece explores the life-altering decisions we make in order to get the most out of our time on earth: giving up a high-flying career, confronting an addiction, dropping it all and moving to a new continent.

Based on real life testimonies and featuring beautiful pyrotechnic effects, this epic performance looks at the moment we choose to detonate our own lives, the smokey fall out and how we piece together a new future.

The critical consensus

Offers food for thought and nourishment for the heart, in small but satisfying measures.

If the busy mix of ideas and styles sometimes feels a little disjointed, a more fluid execution will likely build as the show makes its way around the country on tour.

***(*)(*)Allan Radcliffe, 02/02/2016

It pains me to say so, but, far from the “thought provoking” and emotionally “shattering” production promised, the show is a dull, alienating hour of barely connected, half-baked rehearsal room skits.

Mark Brown, Scottish Stage, 08/02/2016

What ever slight misgivings there might be about structure and whether Watt delivers it with quite the relish it deserves, there is no getting away from the fact that this is fearless, transgressive and properly provocative theatre making.

****(*)Thom Dibdin, All Edinburgh Theatre, 13/02/2016

It’s an ambitious and insightful subject matter with a positive message about the importance of living well no matter how long you have left, but it will take more than a few puffs of coloured smoke to make it more meaningful beyond Watt’s own generation.
