The Escapists and Metro Arts present boy girl wall
This is not a love story. This is a story about love: performed by one man, a stick of chalk and a sock puppet
boy girl wall is the story of two neighbours in an apartment block, trying desperately to keep their lives from falling apart. But the wall that stands between them has decided they belong together.
This hilarious smash-hit production is a stunning celebration of theatricality, imagination and the joy of play. Using chalk, sock puppets, an overhead projector and over 20 characters, Lucas Stibbard's captivating one man tour-de-force performance is played out on an ingenious minimal set. Be inspired and delighted as he cleverly and comically careers through a series of days and everyday events in a tall tale of whimsy.
