Cracking

Winner of the Tinniswood Award at the 2024 BBC Audio Awards As I walk past the funeral parlour, I see a poster next to their two-for-one offer. It's a wanted poster with my name on it. A completely made-up true story. When the world goes mad, do we inevitably go mad too? When Shn playfully cracks an egg on his mothers head, he has no idea real-life internet trolls will appear on his doorstep. Cracking takes on the battle between love and hate, asking whats funny and where we draw the line. Part stand-up, part theatre, Cracking is a funny, touching and thought-provoking solo performance that sews together fact and fiction into one seamless whole making us wonder whats real, whats not and whats gone wrong. This story about love and hatred celebrates how searching for connection beats disconnecting. This edition was published to coincide with the UK tour starting in February 2024.
