The world does its best to break everyone
and everything, but afterwards most things are stronger in their broken places.
The King of Broken Things is an
adventurous and magical excursion into the rehabilitation of broken and
discarded objects, hearts included. An ingenious mix of old school theatre
magic and modern technology brings this enchanting tale to life in the most
endearing way imaginable.
Following on from the hugely successful,
whimsical show 1 Man, 1 Light, and
the beautiful ethereal, Jakob.
respected lighting guru, Michael Broderick brings his latest creation, The King of Broken Things, to the
Seabrooke’s Theatre at DHS for two shows only this week. Written and directed
by Michael Taylor-Broderick, the play features Cara Roberts. It premiered at
last year’s Hilton Arts Festival.
“I've learnt a few things since becoming a
father and this is an attempt to encourage grown-ups to revisit and re-inhabit
the magical places in our minds where we freely and recklessly roamed as
children. It's about believing in and following your dreams throughout your
lifetime. It's dedicated to all the fathers who continue to inspire their
children to believe in the magic and beauty of the world,” says Broderick.
The
King of Broken Things runs at Seabrooke's Theatre
at DHS (Durban High School) on Thursday April 25 and Friday April 26 with
performances at 19h30.
Tickets R100 (R60 youngsters 15 and under).
The show is appropriate for family viewing.
