Cracking
"Legend of the Edinburgh Festival" Shôn Dale-Jones is back with a brand new play. With original music by John Biddle. When the world goes mad, do we inevitably go mad too? CRACKING takes on the battle between love and hate, asking what’s funny and where we draw the line. Shôn’s 83-year old mother is waiting for some test results from the hospital so he goes back home to the Isle of Anglesey to visit her. In a moment of joking around, he cracks an egg on his mother's head. All hell is let loose. Internet trolls appear in real life demanding that he stop abusing his mother and get off the island… CRACKING is a dark and comic story that blends fiction and reality into one seamless whole, a story about love and hatred that celebrates how searching for connection beats disconnecting.
