Description

Adam Scott-Rowley, creator of the award-winning ***** (Independent) THIS IS NOT CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT presents, YOU ARE GOING TO DIE. Performed entirely naked, this show is a nail-biting descent into existential anxiety as humanity stares down the proverbial toilet. A surreal meditation on annihilation, resting on the knife edge between physical theatre and performance art. Ideograms and archetypal forms offer a shared purge illuminating the darkest corners of the human psyche and revealing compassion and humour in the most unlikely of places. ‘A physical theatre masterpiece.’ ***** (Culture Vulture). ‘Straddles hilarity & melancholy’ ***** (FringeBiscuit.co.uk)

Everything Theatre (5/5 stars) 31 days ago

Nobody does character work like Adam Scott-Rowley. He’s the most fascinating, defiant, mind-tingling performance artist you’ll ever see at the Fringe.
