Edgecity: Monologues from the street

Edgecity: Monologues from the street

by gobscure

Frontman of the most influential post-punk band of the last decade, Sleaford Mods, JASON WILLIAMSON joins the cast for a very special selection of monologues written by our associate artist gobscure exploring the many unexpected facets of homelessness and street life. 

Edgecity will be made up of six searing monologues, read by a cast of three including Williamson with live music.  Each piece comes directly from gobscure’s own lived experience of living homeless across Britain.

Titles of the individual monologues to be performed include ‘Mind The Reality Gap’, ‘Die Like Chekhov’ and ‘Yu Cant Start Revolutions Sitting on Yr Arse’. Through stunning fragmentary language, gobscure paints a picture of Britain from those on the very edges of society.
