A True Story
Directed by Katy Carmichael
The end of April. Padstow. Cornwall. The death of winter, the birth of summer. The town is decked in the boughs of green, people are singing, dancing, drinking in the streets and the two Osses fight their way to the Maypole.
A man falls head first off a wall. Years later he tries to remember what happened next.
An extraordinary theatrical adventure that starts with a celebration.
A day where everything changes...
After performing all over the world, most recently on Broadway in Brief Encounter, Kneehigh veteran Tristan Sturrock tells his own story in this haunting one man show.
