Top theatre production 2h: 9m: 37s will be shown at the EK Arts Centre for one night only on Thursday 9th February.
Writer and performer Kris Haddow leads a journey through the world of insomnia through a series of characters and sketches based on his personal experiences. The play was first commissioned for the Scottish Mental Health Arts and Film Festival.
There's Gordon, a man who really loves coffee. There's Brenda, a woman who hasn't slept since 'Oor Davy'. And thrown in with some others, there's Kris himself. Why two hours, nine minutes and thirty-seven seconds? What is the secret to a good night's sleep? And what's really going on in the nation's bedrooms at night?
2h: 9m: 37s is a fast-paced comedy infused with moments of calm snatched from the wee small hours of night.
Kris Haddow is a Scottish actor, playwright and author of short stories written in Scots and English. He writes arts commentary and theatre reviews for publication in the UK and online.
