THIS IS HOW WE DIE

THIS IS HOW WE DIE
Thursday 27th August & Friday 28th August 2015 – 9.30pm

A motor-mouthed collage of spoken word and storytelling. Tales of paranoia, young love and ultra-violence. From the desk of Christopher Brett Bailey comes a spiraling odyssey of pitch-black humour and nightmarish prose.

Returning to Forest Fringe after its sell-out run last year, for just 2 nights only. With echoes of Lenny Bruce, William Burroughs, beat poetry and B-movies, This is How We die is a prime slice of surrealist trash, an Americana death trip and a dizzying exorcism for a world convinced it is dying…

An absurd road movie of the soul cut with a razor wit and bubbling paranoia‘ ★★★★ The Guardian

★★★★★ Exeunt

A visceral, world-burning piece of theatre….a brutal, vital, incredible show’ Total Theatre
