Belvoir: Building the set for And They Called Him Mr Glamour

By Gareth Davies
Director Thomas M. Wright
With Gareth Davies

Downstairs Theatre
15 September - 9 October, 2011

The Black Lung Theatre and Whaling Firm are a Melbourne anti-institution that have never appeared on stage in Sydney. Davies's brilliant text And They Called Him Mr Glamour is a pathetically hilarious tale of a man, alone on stage, desperately seeking the audience's attention.

Davies is a true fool: intelligent, relentless, brave, and very, very funny. Mr Glamour is his one-man plea for self-respect, heroism and the right to be a hopeless idiot. The intrepid Thomas Wright (not to be confused with The Oresteia's Tom Wright) makes his Belvoir directing debut.

And They Called Him Mr Glamour is a black hole of self-loathing dragnetting and paranoia. Please come.
