New York Premiere
In this rousing true story, stage and screen veteran James Hindman is a man of a certain age who finds himself paralyzed by self-doubt, when a serious health scare upends his life. Luckily he isn’t the type to let a life-threatening heart attack dampen his spirits… or his obsession with Cher.
In this fast-paced, one-man extravaganza, Hindman seamlessly moves between characters to tell a story that bounces from light-hearted camp to poignant reflections on life’s greatest challenges.The Irish Times called his performance “stagecraft and storytelling at its best.”
"This is storytelling and stagecraft at its best and most contemporary… Not to be missed."
"A charming, funny, and moving theatrical experience."
"This witty and wise story will resonate with all those who have dealt with medical issues, travelled abroad, or been touched by historical events."
"What Doesn’t Kill You gives you that feeling of intimacy and warmth, that intimate connection between people, that few plays successfully do."
"Funny, entertaining, and above all touching"
