Having had successful runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, in London and a UK tour, it has been confirmed that Adrian Berry’s play and production is to embark on a new UK tour next year.
Martin, a young man who lives in a small Northamptonshire village, struggles with mental health issues. When he receives an unexpected gift on his 18th birthday, he goes to London following his obsession with Bowie where he is propelled on a surreal and thrilling journey. He performs on the stage where Ziggy Stardust was born, finds himself in Bowie’s bedroom and is led on a treasure trail to discover the truth about himself and his family. What follows will change his life forever…
Celebrating the life and music of David Bowie, From Ibiza to the Norfolk Broads features a blistering soundtrack and evokes Bowie’s London.
Talking about the news Adrian Berry said: “When we started thinking about the show originally in 2015 our ambitions were to maybe do a little run in a London fringe theatre, 50 seats or so. Now over 100 performances later, to be playing such beautiful and big houses at some of the most prestigious venues in the country is more than we ever dreamt of. The response has been unexpected but hugely welcome. It’s still very recently that David passed away, so we hope we are serving his legacy in the best possible way.”
The show is performed by Alex Walton, with the voice of Bowie by Rob Newman. Meanwhile, the creative team also includes Andie Scott (set and costume design) and Alan Boyd (sound design).
