Google Raising Cain ProductionsAbout the show
A Year and a Day follows Nathan, whose inexplicable curse causes him to skip a year and a day into the future every time he falls asleep. Leaving behind a botched heist, his wife, his struggling family and a jaded criminal gang, Nathan must adapt to his ever-changing existence. Spanning sixty-five years, this is a darkly funny and poignant exploration of a man trying to right his wrongs as he rapidly skips through time. Christopher Sainton-Clark uses multi-roling to tell the story, under the direction of dramaturg Rosanna Mallinson, presented by Raising Cain Productions.
Why see this show?
A clever, compact solo show that covers sixty-five years in fifty minutes, using a one-person multi-roling technique to tell a darkly funny story of love, loss, betrayal and crime. Ambitious storytelling in a tight format.
