BREXIT
🏆AVIGNON OFF 2018
🏆BRIGHTON FRINGE 2018
BREXIT is a physical theatre comedy written by Tom Corradini and Samuel Toye.
June 23, 2016 – more than 30 million UK citizens are called to vote in a referendum. The question asked is simple and straightforward: “Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union or leave the European Union?”
A father and a son debate on their stance on the vote. They are united in blood but divided in spirit. Charles is a self-made businessman. Eric is a young man aspiring to become an artist. The two characters argue their respective position while digressing on the essence what being British and European really means to them. The debate turns from surreal to grotesque, from bitter to absurd, until both of them cast their vote…
A show about freedom, courage, loss, division, history, British and European identity – played in English with elements of mime and physical theatre.
CLIPS FROM THE SHOW
Apart from touring in the UK, BREXIT toured extensively as a didactic show in Italy and France (in 2018 it participated in the Avignon Off Festival gaining positive reviews from British, French and US press).
The script and a didactic kit for ESL students is available on Amazon both in Kindle and paperback version.
