A new play inspired by autobiographical events is the latest production to be shown in the Studio space at Crewe Lyceum, writes Claire Faulkner.
Presented by Box of Tricks, SparkPlug is a beautiful and unique piece of theatre which tells the story of David, a young boy growing up during the 1980s in Manchester.
Written and starring David Judge, SparkPlug is a powerful and poetic monologue.
It covers so much in such a short time, and raises questions about identity, race, family and masculinity.
I was completely captivated and enthralled by this production.
From the skeleton frame of the car to the classic 80s music.
Everything worked to tell the story. As a performer, Judge is an amazing talent, but as a writer he truly excels.
SparkPlug is a play I will remember for a very long time.
The first season of the Studio Space at The Lyceum has brought three excellent touring productions to Crewe.
I hope that next season we continue to see more productions which support new writing and local talent.
SparkPlug continues to tour the UK.
