Attended the press review this evening of the European premiere of  this award winning play. I can see why it did take so many awards. It's Entertaining stuff with acting at its best form. The show is a one man affair, with Irish Man Sean Power taking the role of Jack. 

How can one twenty year old man entertain an audience for over an hour with just a bar stool?.

Jack's adventure takes him on a journey into a cities underworld, on a search for  drugs, cash and sex and prostitution to pay for his drug habit. Gaggin for a joint he succeeds in blowing off his pusher in return for that vital spiff and in his enlightened state recounts his mad meetings with people along the way in a modern day Canadian city.

 Anybody from Canada would be well advised to go and see this play. He tells of a sexual encounter with a nun on the subway, his meeting with the elders from the church of latter day saints who try to convert him from his poofter ways. Suddenly he can't handle a closeted Mormon with a split personality? Ending up instead being raped by the claustrophobic camp museum attendant! He seeks refuge in a looney bin so that he can look back on his person from 'above' until it wears off and he finds him self back on the streets again - looking for the audition, always looking.....

 the story of my life " Eat, Fuck,Kill,  Eat, Fuck, Kill..........., Kill

In my opinion well worth seeing and cheap at the price, it was one of the first plays that inspired me to write a review, its showing for a limited run during the Fringe Festival, booking is advisable.
