Jack Brownridge-Kelly performs this post-modern gothic comedy solo show about Colin, a new arrival in a rural Cornish community who discovers a forgotten, unloved shed beneath his home — and an intriguing stranger who claims it is about to be blown up. The show follows Colin's rural retreat into the murky depths of a community where nothing is quite as it seems, exploring isolation, obsessive conformity, and the strangeness lurking beneath the surface. It runs for 60 minutes at studio and carries an age guidance of 14+, with content warnings for distressing themes and mature content.
Why see this show?
A darkly comic solo piece that blends post-modern storytelling with genuine unease. If you enjoy theatre that plays with structure and wrong-foots your expectations, this intimate show from an accomplished writer-performer is well worth your time.
