Life Under The Sun – Part 1
| Theatre: |
Strangers & Exiles |
| Premiere: |
June 2022 |
Features underpants, pompous man-servants, self-deprecating witticisms, an existential crisis and one giant hangover!
“What good is it to gain the whole world but lose your soul?”
King Solomon had it all:
700 wives, gold in the billions and the power of a whole kingdom. He studied the stars, penned poetry and proverbs, bashed out businesses, whimsied over wisdom…
And he was bored. Deeply bored. The kind of bored that only a man with too much time and money on his hands can be. None of it satisfied.
Life Under The Sun - Part 1 is a one man show based on the book of Ecclesiastes.
Previous performances include Britain (Bedford Fringe, Guildford Fringe, Shaftesbury Fringe), Sweden (Gothenburg Fringe), Finland (OFF Tampere, Siltoja Festivaali), Norway, Germany, Australia and Canada.
