DON’T GET CARRIED AWAY
Tue 10 to Sat 14 June at 7:00pm
From the time he danced out of his mother’s womb, Roy Barker wanted to be a performer. But life, and bullies, kept getting in the way. Growing up in a brutally tough neighbourhood, Roy survived broken bones, cuts and bruises, by learning how to be invisible—not ideal when you want to be a star. In Roy’s debut solo show, he takes you on a whirlwind ride through the highs and lows of following his dream.
From Shakespeare to rap, and everything in between, Roy discovers at the age of 50 that it’s never too late to get carried away.
Written by and starring Roy Barker
