In this new solo work, Tim Crouch (‘My Arm’, ‘An Oak Tree’) draws on ideas of virtual reality to send him back to the future of the play he left. Back to a world laid waste by division and trauma; a world where the revolution will take place on a screen. King Lear meets stand up meets the metaverse.
