A crash, bang and wallop are coming to London’s The Place when Superfan’s Edinburgh Fringe show Stuntman arrives in October.
Blending dance, theatre and circus, the show is billed as a hilarious and tender ode to the relationship between masculinity and male violence. The show creates cartoonish action-movie inspired fight scenes using the performers lived experiences.
This explosive highly acclaimed performance showcases a duet in which two stuntmen wrestle with their relationship to violence on and off screen. Told through a series of satirical stunts with high impact, Stuntman is not only inspired by classic and contemporary action movies such as Die Hard and John Wick, but also the performers’ personal experiences of their relationships with violence and aggression.
It stars David Banks and Sadiq Ali, with set design by Rachel O’Neill, sound design from Richy Carey and lighting design from Michaella Fee. The director and deviser is Pete Lannon.
Stuntman plays The Place on October 4. Tickets here.
