In March 2018 I began work with 2Magpies Theatre bringing their 2017 Edinburgh Festival hit 'Last Resort' back to life for a tour around the UK through the Spring/Summer period. An intense two-hander piece which re-imagines Guantanamo Bay detention centre as a holiday resort, this was a really unique experience, for both us and the audience alike...
A menacing fiction, made entirely of unimaginable fact, from the creators of The Litvinenko Project and Ventoux.
Last Resort is the alternative future for Guantanamo Bay. You’ll sit in a deckchair, you’ll get a rum cocktail on arrival and you’ll feel the sand between your toes...
2Magpies Theatre will take you through the tropical haze on a unique multi-sensory package holiday. This is an extraordinary rendition and it is all-inclusive.
Audience response to this piece was often intense and very satisfying to hear, with many people staying afterwards to tell us how glad they were to have seen the show, and how much they'd learned, laughed and been affected by it... which sums up my experience of the whole project as an actor as well.
Below are some snaps taken on tour of the varied and unique spaces we played in. Enjoy!
