About Sleeping Warrior with A Play, A Pie and A Pint
Crocodile Rock is a musical theatre production with an original score, presented by Sleeping Warrior with A Play, A Pie and A Pint at the Dining Room. Set on the Scottish island of Cumbrae, seventeen-year-old Steven McPhail feels like an outsider with little to look forward to. When a dazzling encounter with a flamboyant stranger opens his eyes, Steven steps out of the shadows to embrace his authentic self. The show is described as a hilarious and touching journey of self-discovery, exploring sexuality and identity. It contains distressing themes, scenes of violence and strong language. Suitable for ages 12 and over.
