Set in a Wiltshire suburb, Declan is a fragmented, hallucinatory monologue. As childlike outsider Jimbo recalls the disappearance of his best friend Declan, he is plagued by the ghosts of the past and present. With a hazy grasp on reality, Jimbo searches through his fractured town for Declan - and along the way makes troubling discoveries about his own childhood.
Written and performed by Alistair Hall and directed by Billy Barrett, Declan is a piercing, surreal take on the queer coming of age story.
Following an acclaimed run of digital performances and being featured in The Guardian's 'Best Online Theatre', this new production brings Declan to live audiences for the first time.
Featured in Attitude Magazine's The Best Theatre To See in November 2022.
"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."
