About Stuntman
EARLY BIRD OFFER: limited tickets available – book now to save!*
An intensely physical, funny, and tender duet by two men wrestling with their relationship to violence – both onscreen and off.
Fusing the Pow! Biff! and Wallop! of over-the-top stunt fights with personal stories of real encounters with violence, Stuntman explores the relationship between violence and masculinity and the impact this has on our perceptions of men.
Taking inspiration from classic and contemporary action movies like Die Hard, John Wick and Enter the Dragon, SUPERFAN create high-octane and sometimes ridiculous fight scenes within a striking film set-inspired design.
*The Early Bird discount will be applied at checkout.
A gripping, galvanising hour of dance, athleticism and autobiography that might shock, surprise, even seduce.

A thoroughly exhilarating 60 minutes that certainly pulls no punches.
The Recs, 2022
This is the kind of theatre we need.
The List, 2023
A rich theatrical examination of the relationships between violence and masculinity.
Culture Fix, 2023
