DRYCLEANING THE SHROUD OF TURIN
By Barry Lowe
Axel, a young street hustler stands eating fish ‘n’ chips from a greasy paper bag. Beside him is a large striped shopping bag containing all his worldly possessions. As he confides to the audience we learn of his friends and enemies on the street [people such as Magoo, Baby Love and his various male and female tricks]; his heroin addicted ex-girlfriend from whom he has kidnapped his asthmatic son. He and his son are on the run from the Department of Community Services and have to be ready to move at a moment's notice - hence the bag. Even so, Axel drugs his young son each night with a mild mixture of valium and serapax in warm milk so he can prowl the streets looking for rough sex and enough money for them to survive. But fate has caught up with them. Axel reveals that DOCS got his son - and he has taken the only course left open to a loving and devoted father. As he reveals the hideous truth, his striped bag begins to leak blood… A ONE-MAN show.
*CASTING REQUIRED:
>Axel - young in mid to late twenties, handsome, shaved head (not compulsory), tattoos, good body,
dresses to show his body off, caring, blunt, simple needs - one of life's compassion souls whose life is spiraling downhill.
