Bremner FletcherProfessional company

70 minutesThe Sanctuary
In a ruined theatre, an actor tumbles onto a dark stage. His fellow actors have disappeared – arrested – and only their torn costumes remain. The actor defiantly sings into the chaos, recreating his friends' acts and proving how celebration and humour, rage and delight, can be acts of resistance. Performed around the world and winner of a dozen best-of-fest awards. 'Breathtaking' ***** (BroadwayBaby.com). 'Laughter and jaw-dropping physicality... a must see' (TheaterJones.com). 'Fringe theatre, nay theatre itself, doesn’t get much better' (CalgaryHerald.com). 'Incredible one-man show' (PBS). 'Stunning theatrical accomplishment' (InTheVue.com).

About Bremner Fletcher

Singing Into the Dark is a solo theatrical work by Bremner Fletcher, performed at The Sanctuary. In a ruined theatre, an actor finds himself alone — his fellow performers have been arrested and only their torn costumes remain. He defiantly sings into the chaos, recreating his friends' acts and demonstrating how celebration, humour, rage and delight can become acts of resistance. This 70-minute piece blends musical theatre and drama, and is suitable for audiences aged 14 and over.

Why see this show?

A moving one-person show about defiance and solidarity, told through song and physical performance. The premise is quietly devastating, and the theatrical ingenuity of one person recreating an entire ensemble's work gives it real emotional weight.
