Ross Sutherland: The Three Stigmata Of Pacman

8 Mar 2012 - 9 Mar 2012

The Times Top Ten Literary Star Of The Year and Time Out Award Winner combines animation with poetic lyricism in his battle with the self-fulfilling prophecy. This is a true story about time travel.

Ross Sutherland’s job is to predict the future. Working for a well-known national newspaper, Ross spends his days surrounded by people speculating on Britain’s imminent collapse. As far as his office is concerned, The Future is already written, and it doesn’t look good. Each night, Ross attempts to repair the damage he has done to the timeline. He trawls the stages of cabaret clubs, asking audiences to help him full up a time capsule, sending objects, stories and poems to help out their future selves. But when the recession hits, Ross finds himself out of a job and on his way back to Essex to live with his parents. Trapped in his own past, warring with his old enemy (the local Spar), Ross must use his time capsule as a means of escape. But how? Does the secret to understanding the future lie in a yellow pill-munching character from his past?

“Ross Sutherland’s debut show melds stand-up, satire and sinuous verse, making the 29 year-old spoken-word artist one of the most exciting new voices to emerge. A real star in the making.” Independent****
