Theatre
This is a rare chance to see the first play in a unique body of work that has changed the theatre landscape. My Arm tells the story of a boy who puts one arm about his head and never takes it down. It combines live performance with sequences of film commissioned from British artist, Chris Dorley-Brown. The play is performed with the help of everyday objects supplied by the audience. It’s a study of bloody-mindedness, modern art and family. It’s mesmerising, teasing and profound.
