Sid
by 5Pound5 Theatretheatre
A new 50 minute one man show where hero worship and reality collide in a punk rock clash.
about the production
Sid is a one-man show which combines in-your-face direct address, storytelling and multi-character dialogue to discuss perceived class boundaries, parenting, hero worship and punk in a mix of humour, anger and bemusement at the world. “He’s not having a good day. People don’t understand him, his musical tastes are derided, his best mate is a punk-rocker who died in the seventies. And his girlfriend thinks he’s lost the plot! Life shouldn’t be this hard, but for Craig nothing seems easy. He’s a loose cannon. A man alone. Almost alone. He’s got a mate. He’s got Sid Vicious."
