Sleeping Warrior Theatre Company and Macrobert Arts Centre in association with Showroom are currently touring a new production, The Rise and Inevitable Fall of Lucas Petit, a fast and furious new comedy.

There’s only one remarkable thing about Lucas Petit, and that is how unremarkable he is. The most exciting thing in his life is his weekly trip to the B&Q cafe – and that’s just the way he likes it. But, one day, a chance encounter with a tramp that may or not be God throws his whole world into disarray as he is cast headfirst into the murky world of organised crime and disorganised religion.

As part of the tour the company are running a selection of education workshops that are available for lower and higher secondary students, university and college and adult community groups. These workshops will be focusing on how different theatrical elements such as physicality, text deliverance, set and prop design can work together as well as in contrast to contribute towards creating the fast pace and surreal world of Lucas Petit. The workshop will also look beneath the comic happenings and question the larger themes and motives that throw Lucas into a series of situations he wasn’t expecting to be in. They are also offering participants the opportunity to utilize these practical and playful workshops to develop skills that will contribute to creating a “curtain raiser” that will feature before the performance at the venue closest to where the workshop takes place.
