Description

Ben Target is a critically-acclaimed performance artist and multi-award-winning comedian (yawn), but in 2020 he gave this up to become the live-in carer for an irascible octogenarian prankster. A life-affirming story about death, conveyed through the popular mediums of storytelling, servitude to the audience and live carpentry, a combination not seen on the world stage since Nazareth (circa 30AD). Directed by Adam Brace. 'Imagine there was no Ben Target. The world would unquestionably be a darker, less interesting place' (Chortle.co.uk). 'A beautiful, gentle, touching thing... spellbinding' (Scotsman). 'A true original and a legend in the making' (Guardian).
