‘What do you do as Captain Amazing?’ ‘Fight… baddies and things. Save people… make people go to bed when they’re supposed to go to bed…’ Join Mr… no … CAPTAIN Amazing, the world’s most unassuming superhero in Alistair McDowall’s critically-acclaimed masterpiece. From battling his arch-nemesis Evil Man, to getting his daughter to school on time, discover what compelled this DIY store sales assistant to first don the cape and follow him into his final mission – the hardest one of all. A hilarious and heart-breaking adventure which reminds us that even the invincible aren’t immune to tragedy. Celebrating the play’s 10th anniversary, Mark Weinman delivers his “astonishing solo performance” (Lyn Gardner, The Guardian), in this brand-new production by award-winning director Clive Judd, “a Mike Leigh in the waiting” (WhatsOnStage).
