"You probably know that Cain killed his brother. But you probably don’t know that Cain now lives in his shed on a council allotment. Or that he is regularly abducted and experimented on by Aliens or Angels (he’s not sure which). Night after night, alone on his roof-top, Cain defends us all from heavenly invaders. With all but a few of his Old Testament allies gone, this lonely Bible outcast is the last true champion of the human race."
The latest performance from the makers of Big Hands is full of humour, pathos and genuine weirdness. Original live music, poetic text and peculiar physicality flow through a surreal escalation of action, perpetually looping towards the most famous murder in western history. The show explores and "owns-up" to issues of rage, fear, jealousy and guilt. It also deals with the most powerful and sacred bond in the male world — that between a man and his shed.
£10/£8/£6
"90 minutes of sensetingling performance" - Elizabeth Mahoney, The Guardian (Big Hands)
"He (Tyler) is certainly a man to watch when it comes to cross-disciplinary theatre at the cutting edge." – The Western Mail (Big Hands)
"...an intensely charismatic piece of theatre noir, a ravishing piece of performance, endearingly free from pretension." – The Guardian (Big Hands)
