Daniel Bye, Alphabetti Theatre and ARC Stockton present:
IMAGINARY FRIENDS
written and performed by Daniel Bye
original soundtrack by Ziad Jabero
Welcome to the warped mirror world of award-winning writer-performer Daniel Bye’s first new solo show for seven years. This is a major event.
A recently-bereaved TV comic finds comfort in his imaginary friends. They’re terrible people and he knows it. But it’s a terrible world, right? And the ideas they’re coming up with for his show are terrific.
The results are controversial – but in the attention economy, that’s rocket fuel! And isn’t it ok to go to extremes, so long as you’re on the right side of history?
Meanwhile the imaginary friends get louder. And louder.
How do you hear good advice in a world with the volume permanently turned to full?
Bye’s trademark brand of hilarious and mind-bending storytelling will take you on a wild trip through the looking glass, visiting the abandoned buildings of the future, and dancing with the creatures under the bed.
Don’t miss this unique storytelling adventure that asks whether, in the end, people aren’t quite as bad as they seem. Now that’s controversial.
Dates and book:
Alphabetti Theatre, Newcastle
19 March - 6 April
