Internationally-acclaimed DV8 physical theatre company returns to Blackpool’s Grand Theatre in March for the first time since 1997, with two performances of unique new production: John.
No topic is off-limits in this innovative new show—from love and sex to drug abuse, crime and violence.
Lloyd Newson, artistic director of DV8, interviewed more than 50 men in preparation for creating this show. One of those men was John. The disturbing word-by-word account of that interview is recreated live on stage by Hannes Langolf.
From a troubled upbringing to an endless quest for love and friendship, John takes the audience through one man’s struggle to survive against a backdrop of difficult family relationships, alcohol and drug dependency, and deprivation.
