Pieces of a Man
A father. A son. Some baggage.
Based on the story of David’s father’s life – a North African Jewish Holocaust Survivor – this hilarious and moving solo show explores trauma, identity, and what we inherit.
The acclaimed piece has toured extensively in Europe and North America, and continues to play today.
Fatherload (coming soon)
Fatherhood, mental health, addiction – what could go right?
A new solo show exploring the birth of… a father. With raw confession and dark humour, this is a look at modern dadhood – from a man hoping his baby will inherit more than his mistakes. Catch at Edinburgh Fringe 2026!
