Absolute Weapons
Presented by 412, Lawrence Batley Theatre and King Brilliant Theatre
Written and Directed by Gareth Durasow
Starring Lee Bainbridge
Enter Mars. He is the arrow in a king’s eye, the shell in your foxhole, the flak in the sky. He is the bringer of war. Join him for an evening of high-intensity conflict and unparalleled firepower as he confronts a world created in his image –with no escape from the blast radius.
Absolute Weapons, an extraordinary rendition of incendiary wit, modern myth, and women’s designer footwear - from acclaimed writer Gareth Durasow (The Tailor’s Ghost) and starring Lee Bainbridge (Shellshocked, Brighton ‘84), with music by Jemma Freese (Maximo Park).
