The King of Broken
Things – a whimsical, profound and poignant one-hander by Theatresmiths’
Michael Taylor Broderick, featuring Cara Roberts (as a young boy) comes to 1000
Hills for a single performance - at Kearsney College on Thursday March 21,
2024, at19h30.
The King of Broken
Things dares its audience to imagine, to dream and most of all, to believe.
It is a show about hope, about fixing and mending, about forgiving and about
healing, all of these are key ingredients that are much needed in our beloved
country right now. The show gently deals with many issues facing society today:
bullying; prejudice; gratuitous waste; absent fathers and the futility and
consequences of war. All of these themes are keenly and wryly observed by the
young protagonist. Because these ideas are expressed by a child (played by Cara
Roberts), they are more honest and forthright - acceptance is where change and
healing begins.
