Meet Mico. Mico has just lost James, the love of his life, and should really begin grieving. Instead he punches a hole in the universe and travels between parallel worlds to try and get his dead husband back. Join Mico, James and a million other Jameses as they bring you on the wildest ride of your life…in this world at least…
Writer/performer Alan Flanagan (Hollyoaks, Eyes Teeth Soil – Pleasance), performer Brendan O’ Rourke (Game Of Thrones, Incident At Vichy – Finborough Theatre) and director Dan Hutton (Big Guns – Yard Theatre, Associate Director at Barrel Organ) bring a story of love, grief, and trying to find decent sausage rolls in a universe that never invented Gregg’s.
‘Alan Flanagan’s story-telling is rich, strange and brutal’
– The Reviews Hub, on Eyes Teeth Soil
‘It’s hard not to smile when this odyssey comes to its defiant, rocket-fuelled conclusion’
– The Stage, on Bingo
‘Please, please, please go see Bingo.’
– A Younger Theatre
‘O’Rourke is an absolute genius and performs Joseph K, and indeed the other characters superbly.’
– Everything Theatre, on The Trial
