Whistle
Written and performed by Martin Figura
When the poet and photographer Martin Figura
was nine years old, his father murdered his mother. This shocking event is at
the heart of his powerful one-man show ‘Whistle’, but it is by no means the
whole story.
Set against a backdrop of family
photographs, letters and documents, Whistle’ is a tour de force of poetry in
performance. Martin Figura eloquently transcends the tragic details to deliver
a coming of age story that is funny, moving and uplifting in equal
measure.
“Profoundly honest and at the same time
joyfully entertaining” Independent on Sunday
“Martin Figura's riveting sequence of poems
about his childhood, his father killing his mother, and the consequences of
that upon the whole family is remarkable” Jackie Kay
