Description
Summary:Hoipolloi's Artistic Director, Shôn Dale-Jones, the multi-award winning writer/performer behind Edinburgh Fringe favourite Hugh Hughes, wrote The Duke, a new solo show, to raise money for Save the Children's Child Refugee Crisis Appeal. Whenever possible, the show is presented for free, with audiences asked to make a donation to the charity rather than buy a ticket. Funny, poignant and playful, The Duke weaves together the tragicomic fate of a family heirloom, a porcelain figure of The Duke of Wellington, the quandary of a scriptwriter stretching his integrity, and an unfolding disaster as thousands of children flee their homes. Blending fantasy and reality, the show gently challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis.
