ABOUT THE PLAY

Battling prescription-drug addiction and the heart-break of divorce, the increasingly irrational Doctor’s problems spiral when the entire populace awake spellbound by their feet. Can he withstand the pressures of new-found celebrity, the teasing of a flirtatious ex-wife and the temptations of sinister PR man O’Neill and the mysterious Stranger, to deliver the speech of his life? And what is he doing digging a hole on the bleakest moon of Saturn?

PRESS

“A comedy that toys with big ideas of self-worth but seriously enjoys playing with the possibilities of the surreal.” (Edinburgh Stage)

“…there’s a stunning array of metaphors hidden in this quirky comedy… With elements of David Lynch and Dennis Potter and Freudian hints at erectile dysfunction, Shanks’ first play is intriguing, beguiling and down-right sinister.” (Evening News)

“Simon Eilbeck’s engaging Doctor acts by moustache in the same way Roger Moore acts by eyebrow.” (Evening News)
