THE KING OF INFINITE SPACE

"A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there, is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!" -Charles dickens, A tale of Two Cities

Michael Collins orbits the moon in solo flight, 304,400 kilometres below him and 30 years later a man drives his son through the dark and blind Willie Johnson fills the distant empty blackness of space.

A story about you, and me, and the space between us.

The King of Infinite Space was developed as part of The Bike Shed Theatre's From Devon With Love Season and was Running dog theatre's First Show. It is also the seed from which a lot has followed Wanna Dance With Somebody! in particular found its beginnings here.
