About

"You won't find a show with a bigger, better heart" ★★★★ What's On Stage

"In the spring of 2024 I sit at my desk waiting for an email that will tell me what I need to do to the script to get it onto the screen. I turn the radio on. I listen to a report about the refugee crisis. My mother calls. She tells me she’s broken The Duke. My mother, my film script and the refugee crisis all need my attention.”

Funny, poignant and playful, this one-man show from award-winning writer and performer Shôn Dale-Jone weaves together the tragi-comic 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. This playful show gently challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis.
