MICHAEL
By PATRICK SWAIN
Theatre with Teeth, Boston Tea Party Exeter (2017)
"The Scandinavians are coming!"
Michael is a new play which centres upon the life of a man named... Michael. Michael is an interesting human - a writer whose audience is Scandinavian, a husband whose wife he never sees, a friend of a man who will not leave his house. But the deeper he involves himself in his work, the further he strays from the people he holds dear. Using the audience as a crutch, he tries to connect with his surroundings as well as he does with his fictional characters.
But Michael's fanbase are passionate. And Scandinavian. And they're coming to his house.
Michael is a play that explores isolation, loss, and nostalgia.
