'It's
a very sunny day, the worst kind of weather for a goth, so I lurk in
the shadows contemplating the great tragedies of my life. The burden
of my intelligence, for example. Loneliness.
I
am an only child.
Unless
you count Lizzie, my sister, but I don't, since she is so clearly a
moron.'
Meet
Nick, a 17 year old cloak clothed gay goth, cursed with an
annoying sister, the world's most cheerful parents and a part-time
voluntary job at the local care home. He spends his time listening to
Marilyn Manson, yearning for oblivion and designing coffins to
present to Ikea's managing director. That is until tragedy strikes,
changing Nick's views on life, and death, forever.
Starring
Robert Killalay and directed by Helen Donnelly, this tender solo
comedy from award winning playwright Tom Wells is guaranteed to warm
even the blackest of hearts.

a 70 minute comedy written by Tom Wells (Critics Circle’s Most
Promising Playwright, Evening Standard nominee), performed by Robert
Killalay and directed by Helen Donnelly.
