RUNNING TIME / NOTICES: 60mins (no interval)
A dad loses his 6-year old daughter to cancer, and his world falls apart. He doesn’t know how to process the life-shattering void following her premature death. He starts running to deal with his loss. Only, he can’t stop. He runs through the pain, the memories and the grief to try and find the point where he no longer runs, but soars – the point where he is close to her again.
A fast-paced and moving one-man play about how you survive the death of your child, I Run will be playing at the Pleasance Below 31 July – 26 August as part of Death on the Fringe.
Cut the Cord is a London-based theatre company which focuses on new writing and international collaborations in the UK, particularly Nordic. They explore social issues through bold visual narratives and movement, questioning what it means to be human. In 2020 they will curate the first New Nordics Festival, a festival celebrating contemporary Nordic plays in London.
