Pedestrian
A Bristol Old Vic and Theatre Bristol co-commission
A Bristol Old Vic and Theatre Bristol co-commission. And so begins 90 minutes of daft, disturbed and ultimately doomed storytelling. Talking to myself, I walk for an eternity down a neverending pedestrianised shopping concourse, pursued by a giant fish. Along the way I run a gauntlet of chuggers, escape a riot, grope a stranger, lose my mind in Tesco metro, find God, and return to Earth to be met by a line of kabaddi-playing goldfish ushering in the apocalypse.
