Michael Symmons Roberts A Man In Pieces


(3.6 Sterne; 7 Bewertungen)

A Man In Pieces is a compelling play by Michael Symmons Roberts that explores the impact of technology on the human body and mind. The story follows Conor, who volunteers to test a revolutionary sonic medical scanner that records the sounds within the body. As he undergoes this testing in a secure research facility, he begins to feel as though he is losing his identity, becoming a prisoner to the scanner's probing depths.

Based on a true story, the play delves into the ethical implications of using a death row prisoner for medical experimentation. With a blend of psychological drama and sci-fi elements, it raises questions about the boundaries of medical science and the nature of self. The production features a talented cast, including Graeme Hawley, Gillian Kearney, Clive Russell, Sue Jenkins, and Malcolm Raeburn, with music composed by John Harle and direction by Susan Roberts.
