Celebration, Florida: Northern Stage

WED 7 JUN, 7.30pm

Greg Wohead

Veering between reality and simulation, Celebration, Florida orbits around ideas of surrogacy; a stand-in to replace a person you miss, a re-creation of an experience you can’t stop thinking about, nostalgia for a place that never existed.

This is a show for anyone who has ever missed anyone or anything.

Greg will speak to you through two performers using pre-recorded audio and headphones. The performers will know almost nothing about the show and they will meet for the first time when they walk on stage.

“A moving tone poem on loss and retrieval” ★★★★ Stewart Pringle, The Stage

 “A work of great sensitivity written with enviable grace and poise” Simon Bowes, After the Lights Fade

Commissioned by The Albany and developed at The Yard. Supported using public funding by the National Lottery through Arts Council England.
