Rock Bottom by Charlie Day

8pm Friday - One Night Only!

'You don't know what to be, or not to be' 
Shakespeare's best-loved clown, Bottom, is reimagined in Fresh Life Theatre's one-person show. 

When Bottom arrives at the theatre, ready to perform, and finds the rest of his cast has left him, he needs to improvise. Dealing with the trauma of pushing his friends away and needing the audience to like him is a cocktail for trouble. As his plan falls apart, he is forced to come to terms with who he is. 

Full of rude jokes, quotes and existential dread, this is Shakespeare's Bottom, alone in the real world. 

Written and performed by Charlie Day
