Vamos Theatre: Boy On The Roof
EventAbout Vamos Theatre: Boy On The Roof
Rosie Baxter wishes her son wasn’t such a troublemaker. Liam Baxter can’t switch off, can’t sit still, he’s disruptive at school and chaotic at home. As for Liam, he just wishes someone understood him.
Three doors down, Albert keeps himself to himself. At 91, he knows what he likes and likes what he knows. But Albert misses his wife and just wishes someone, somewhere would have time for him.
When Liam and Albert’s paths cross, no one can fathom what they have in common. But the boy and the man share more than they know, and what slowly grows is a friendship that both of them need, even if the rest of the world can’t see it.
A poignant exploration of loneliness, connection and friendship
The Stage: Oliver Jones
From award-winning full-mask maestros, Vamos Theatre, this wordless performance has been created through Community Conversations, gathering people’s experiences of ADHD, loneliness, aging, connection and community.
Presented in a co-commission with London International Mime Festival and a co-production with New Wolsey Theatre.
