Scorched<br />
Following its critically acclaimed debut at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, Open Sky<br />
present Scorched - using new writing, visual physical theatre, period music and<br />
an innovative set to create the workings of a mind sinking into the sands of time.<br />
1941. Egypt. WWII. An escaped German officer. A two day chase across the brutal<br />
Sahara. A triumphant capture. A hero’s return.<br />
MAY<br />
1991. England. Jack reigns from the armchair of his rest home, a local legend.<br />
Decorated veteran of Tobruk. Former river warden, boxer, horse whisperer, boat<br />
builder, charmer, prolific father and husband to a very unhappy wife. Memories<br />
are, by his own hand, tattooed on his body but dementia is eroding his mind. As<br />
the Gulf War rages, the past drags him back to the scorched sands. Inspired by<br />
the writer’s grandfather.<br />
“a powerful play that captures the horror of war and the disorientation of<br />
dementia.” British theatre<br />
“one of the most complete theatrical experiences at this year’s Fringe.”<br />
