Following a critically-acclaimed sold out extended run of their original play M, the award-nominated Vertigo Theatre Productions switches gear to present the controversial drama Mysterious Skin written by Prince Gomolvilas and based on the bestselling novel by Scott Heim.
It will open on May 21 to 25 at the Three Minute Theatre, Manchester and features a cast of established fringe actors and new talent. The play will be directed by the award nominated writers-directors Craig Hepworth and Adele Stanhope.
It’s a drama about two boys leading separate lives connected by one event. At the age of eight, Brian Lackey is found bleeding under the crawl space of his house, having endured something so traumatic that he cannot remember an entire five-hour period of time.
A hard-hitting controversial drama that also enjoyed success as a movie starring Joseph Gordon Levitt, Mysterious Skin has won awards and received rave reviews around the globe and now comes to Manchester for the first time.
