**** TIME OUT CRITICS' CHOICE
If you thought Mark Little was only a soap actor and light entertainer... be prepared to stretch your imagination.
Mark Little makes his directorial debut and stars in the UK premiere of this momentous Australian play. Since it was first performed in 1972, A Stretch Of The Imagination has been celebrated as one of the classics of Australian theatre.
Olivier Award winner Mark Little plays the
irascible anti-hero Monk O’Neill – philosopher, yarn-spinner and satirical revolutionist. This vibrant poetic monologue introduces us to the painfully lonely world of Monk O’Neill and his memories as he faces death alone, but with humour and resilience.
