66A CHURCH ROAD

Event ran May 2010

 

A Lament Made of Memories and Kept in Suitcases.

Written and Performed by Daniel Kitson.

Winner Fringe First Award 2008.

“Every minute is filled with absolute delight….exceptionally entertaining”

The Stage

”Last September I had to move out of my flat after living there for almost six years. I didn’t want to. I lived alone. I am single. 66a Church Road was the longest relationship of my life. This is a break up show. For my flat.”

Daniel Kitson, London May 2008

“shines like a beacon….the treat of the fringe”

The Evening Standard

“Kitson has matured into a writer of superb dramatic monologues about the state of our nation and our hearts in the early 21st century; and a quite brilliant and commanding performer of them, too.

On the surface, this is a play about Daniel Kitson and his flat. But at its heart, it's about the relationship between a good man in search of a kindly and fulfilling life, and a society that often seems to have lost all sense of beauty, humanity, craftsmanship, quality and love. And when that theme fires his writing with the fierce, lyrical anger that is Kitson's hallmark, what emerges not only makes us laugh; but also speaks for the part of all of us that struggles to stay human in a harshly commercialised world.”

The Scotsman

“66A CHURCH ROAD is a gorgeously written and consummately performed piece of storytelling… Kitson captivates…his sentences sing.”

Scotland on Sunday

“Poignant and poetic.”

The Independent

“Captivating….Kitson's love of language and natural sense of pathos making for genuine belly laughs as well as beautiful imagery.”

Metro

“It is poetry shot through with laughter and pathos, a heartfelt reflection on what we mean by home….as good as anything Kitson has done.”

The Times
