Drawing on the 14 Stations of the Cross, this is a promenade piece where Adrian leads you on a journey through 14 interactive sites in which he ‘confesses’ both the suffering he has endured and the pain he has inflicted on others. (75 mins, 2 on road, contains nudity and some strong language.)
An intimate studio theatre piece, which is transformed into Adrienne’s living room, for 25 people.
