About
THAT Production Company are bringing their multi-award nominated, critically acclaimed production of Sea Wall by Simon Stephens to Brisbane. Director, Timothy Wynn (Matilda Award nominee for Best Director) will once again team up with Steven Rooke (Matilda Award nominee for Best Actor) to bring his tour-de-force performance of this one man show to the New Benner Theatre.“There's a hole running through the centre of my stomach. You must have all felt a bit awkward because you can probably see it.”
Meet Alex: doting father, loving husband, loyal son, gentle soul. Spend an evening listening to his story, wading through musings of family, spirituality, art, doubt, love, and loss, between crashing waves of tragedy and hope.
Sea Wall was written by award-winning writer Simon Stephens (Curious Incident of the Dog In The Night-Time) for Andrew Scott (Sherlock, Fleabag).
With wry humour and resolute honesty, Sea Wall is a delicate, unforgettable, and intimate confession, at once brutal and beautiful.
