You Are Going To Die

At times the piece feels more like performance art, with lighting design by Matt Cater being used to enhance the movement and storytelling. There is a clever use of shadow which feels intentional and impactful to add another dimension to the more powerful movement sections.

I could not be clear if there is a story per se – but it feels as though the common thread over the piece is anxiety and the existential dread humans hold over death and change. Even in the lighter moments, you can feel some tension which is portrayed in Adams physicality and vocal performance too.

There are twists and turns aplenty over the course of the evening, from one character being stuck in a well to another discovering self care but maybe taking it a little too far in a very humorous way. The audience are on board from the start and though at times it’s a tough watch, the piece invites us to sit in our uncomfortable feelings and to turn towards our pain which although not easy, feels easier after watching this show. We finish on a high with a hilarious audience sing-along which will leave you humming the tune composed by Phil McDonnell all evening long!
