Bar Tape

Award winning theatre company, Rocket Box theatre presents Bar Tape, new piece of writing by Harry Brewer.

Davidson, a young college student, lives with his grandad who has looked after him for the majority of his life after his parents disappeared, who encourages him to follow his dream; to compete in the Tour de France. He aspires to be one of the greats. His priorities are split between college, training for a cycling race that could land him a scholarship to study at university, his Grandad’s deteriorating health and Emily a girl he becomes infatuated with. He becomes a rabbit in the headlights. A story that explores the difficulties of growing up in a rural town, with no clear route to achieve the big dreams of youth.

Audience feedback includes: ‘Now that’s how you tell a story’, ‘A Tour de Force’, ‘A production that never ran out of imagination’, ‘The most exciting and moving piece of theatre I have seen in recent years’.

All sound music is written and composed by Cornish based artist, Robi Mitch, Lighting and visual design by Ross Hayward.
