Blessed, Tryna Shake This Curse (WIP)

by Talawa

A Jekyll and Hyde story about a boy living in the frosted-tipped fantasy of Dawson's Creek, walking to garage beats, believing he can be anything he sees on TV. But grown-up now, and spliff-round-the-corner-before-the-bottomless-brunch kinda boozy, he's haunted by the "rude boi" at the back of the class... A theatrical mixtape performed by actor and polymath creator Simon Manyonda alongside composer, musician and audio-visual artist Owain Kelly. This is a chance to see a brand-new piece of work from an iconic company as a part of Shedinburgh. Please note this will be a work-in-progress.
