Farnham Maltings presents: Title and Deed by Will Eno.
A haunting and fiercely funny play about all of us. Will Eno, the celebrated American playwright, has written a haunting, funny, quietly moving examination of what it is to search for ‘home’, that singular place in the world where we can feel complete.
A slightly foreign man, performed by Pall Palsson, gathers us together to sort through his surprising experience of that search and shares his story, comparing the odd traditions in his country of birth with the realities of life here.
A beautiful and poetic evening of story-telling from the team that brought you ‘Brilliance’ and ‘The Iranian Feast’.
