|
Directed by the award winning Sign Dance Collective written and produced by Charlie Kay, ‘tO BE fRAnk……’ Arts Company present Spenno’s Dance at Ammanford Miners’ Theatre, 6 October.
Autistic, learning disabled and very misunderstood; Spenno dances in a different way. You wouldn’t understand just by watching. Dismayed by an increasingly hostile world, his little sister defends and celebrates his existence. Poetic and rousing his story is told through movement, the spoken word, film and music.
“A powerful, moving, vivid portrayal, a bravura performance from Charlie Kay, whose energy and versatility leaves you breathless. It is theatre at its best.” David Crystal, author.
“Immerses you in a story both captivating and emotive. With ever increasing wonderment, the audience is sucked into the production.” Daniel Jermy, Financial Times
