The Duke

The Duke

Written and performed by Shôn Dale-JonesProfessional company

The Duke is a solo show from the multi award-winning writer/performer and 'legend of the Edinburgh Festival' (Stage), exploring kindness, generosity and the value of what we do. Funny, poignant and playful, The Duke weaves together the tragicomic fate of a family heirloom – a porcelain figure of the Duke of Wellington – the quandary of a scriptwriter stretching his integrity and an unfolding disaster as thousands of children flee their homes. Blending fantasy and reality, this playful show gently challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis. 'A fantastic and likeable storyteller' **** (EdFestMag.com). **** (What'sOnStage.co.uk).
