2 Female and 1 Male face, each looking slightly upwards. A bright green background. There are childlike drawings on the three faces (a cowboy hat, a lightning bolt, a snorkel)
An astronaut moves across the stage. Their costume is shiny and they are holding a cardboard flag. The inside of their helmet is lit up. The background is purple.
A bald man stands in front of a messy stage, he is wearing a white shirt and black pants. There is a large sheet of paper behind him.

One Of These Things First

A girl dreams of being a ballerina, then a cowboy, then a CEO. A boy dreams of learning the drums. But it's too late for all of that. They’ve grown up. The time has passed….

Or has it?

What if we did it all? Right now. In 60 mins. With nothing but an empty stage. 

And props. LOADS of props.

Focused on the impossible nature of childhood career dreams, it is an epic, messy work. Ironic and physically demanding, it is a visual feast that endeavours to capture the beauty, challenges, and complexities of pursuing dreams at an age where nothing seems possible anymore.

“Continuously engaging, interesting, frantic and delightful.. Warm, cheery, sunny.. Whilst also having this broody undercurrent, lower layer, of dark capitalistic melancholy" Praise Dionysus!
