Description

At first Man & Board is an unlikely pairing of Rob's moving body with a ritualised wooden board with which he sings, he dances, he wins and he loses. Dig deeper to find a solo – arguably a duet – infused with autobiographical and queer undertones. An impassioned show about tradition, heritage, and masculinity where a gay father celebrates his Irish cultural heritage as he passes it on to his adopted son. Sharing traditional love songs and lullabies, Man and Board brings old traditions into new places, new times. Programmed by Dance Base in collaboration with Assembly.

This was ridiculous.

I was in a foul mood before I came to this and thought nothing would fix it, but Rob's presence was so soothing I was put at ease quickly. As soon as he started singing, my foul mood melted away. I was so moved by this show in a way I did not expect to be. One of my top 3 shows, I'm so happy I saw this in my first Fringe.
