Description:
It’s lonely at the top, especially at the top of Scotland. Set in the small town of Ellon, Aberdeenshire, join Fraser Patterson as he wrestles with his mind and body in his struggle with playing the bit-part role of The Big Guy. Brutal playground initiation evolves into real-world tribulation in a society riddled with stigma and prejudice. From Saltire Sky, the multi award-winning company, MANikin is an unflinching portrait of a man’s struggle with obesity and body image in modern society, seeking how these issues arise, escalate and become life threatening. Nominated: Best Scottish Production 2023 (Scottish Theatre Awards).
