This remarkable one-man play premiered at the Edmonton Fringe Festival in 1995 before earning the Edinburgh Fringe First Award for Outstanding New Work in Scotland. Globe Theatre commissioned Joey Tremblay to revisit and expand his heroic script to a full-length production for this special presentation.
