5 FINGER$
PBH Free Fringe, Edinburgh Fringe. 2022 & Brighton Fringe 2023
Want to know why they call me 5 Fingers? An absurdist play exploring a petty thief's self journey. Forced to reflect from a court ordered psychiatrist's office, 5 Fingers revisits formative past events and dreams of escaping a life of crime only to write poetry and dance the night away in drag and debauchery. Based on Jean Genet when he was locked up in France’s notorious Santé prison in 1943 and facing a lifetime sentence.
Created, directed, and performed by Matthew Dunlop.
