John, the latest work from multi-award-winning DV8 Physical Theatre, co-produced with the National Theatre, comes to The Lowry in Salford at the end of February as part of its first European and UK tour.
John opened Liverpool’s Homotopia Festival 2014, before opening at the National in November.
Lloyd Newson, Artistic Director of DV8 since the company’s inception in 1986, interviewed more than 50 men asking frank questions, initially about love and sex. One of those men was John.
What emerged was a story that is both extraordinary and touching. Years of crime, drug use and struggling to survive lead John on a search in which his life converges with others in an unexpected place, unknown by most. John authentically depicts real-life stories, combining movement and spoken word.
Contains adult themes, strong language and nudity. Suitable for 16 years and over.
