Lily hasn't heard from John in over 4 weeks. John's depression has spiralled and he's video recording a final goodbye. But when his ex-girlfriend, and now co-dependent best friend, bursts in catching him in the act, he lies and says it's material for a new play. About a dressage horse. So ensues a weird and wonderful journey in which they enact a thinly veiled guise of their own lives; they sing, they dance, they fight, they talk about their deepest struggles. Whilst dressed as horses.  

​

A semi auto-biographical modern folk story exploring loneliness, creativity and how friendship and conversation can inspire change. Created in partnership with The Listening Place, His, and Humen. 

​

Alex is delighted to be directing this surreal folk gig play by Kalum Sivyer and Rosanna Adams (The Mirror and the Light- RSC). He is working alongside Calum and Rosanna as they develop the script as well as directing the  piece, which opened to a sold out run at The Other Palace.
