A man lives and dies for his work on the 9th floor.
Mortar is a performance that explores two worlds; the story of the man upstairs, and the memories of a child on a beach. Nestled on the first of nine floors, the performer creates a live soundscape and tells a tale that tries to untangle the grief and pain of letting your childhood dreams die to go and work in concrete buildings. Inspired by John Hartford’s 1971 song 'In Tall Buildings', Mortar is a show for everyone - the everyday worker - you, me and the man upstairs.
This performance takes place in CPT's basement space which has step-free access via lift.

"Our children live in the most deprived ward in London and their parents cannot afford to pay for the classes and activities many more privileged children enjoy after school and at the weekends. A free-to-access youth group run by a local theatre in a professional setting is an incredible opportunity."
