Carousel: A Theatre Show by Ivo Graham

From: £16.00

Book Tickets

Overview

“Teddy told me that in Greek nostalgia literally means the pain from an old wound. It’s a twinge in your heart, far more powerful than a memory alone.”

Ivo Graham, who has watched this Mad Men clip approximately 100 times, steps away from the frivolity of his stand-up and invites you into his own carousel: around and around, backwards and forwards, to the places he aches to go again.

A searingly direct, exquisitely sound tracked story of a life: good luck at your next meeting.


If a performance is sold out, email info@northernstage.co.uk or call 0191 230 5151 to be added to our waiting list.
