IMAGINARY FRIENDS by Daniel Bye

This solo show from Daniel Bye is a surreal and often very funny take on deeply unfunny subjects – grief, environmental devastation and the possible end of the world....Bye is a TV comic tasked with turning the week’s events into bit-sized satirical shows. But when his big-hearted brother dies, it throws his cynicism into sharp relief. What kind of person, he wonders, stands at a sibling’s deathbed and ponders how he would rewrite the scene? His character is further tested when an unlikely celebrity suicide brings out his dark side. When he finds himself in a creative crisis, help comes from the most unlikely source: a spectral Piers Morgan.Tracey Sinclair THE STAGEWritten and performed by Daniel ByeProduced by Alphabetti Theatre and ARC StocktonRecorded live at Alphabetti Theatre by Matt JamieSound Design by Ziad JaberoTechnical Operations by Chris FoleySpecial Thanks to Annabel Turpin, Veronica Johnson and Sarah Pushon
