Hello people of Bristol, Rob Auton here. I am taking my debut hour long story to the Edinburgh Festival and I am doing as many work-in-progress shows as possible to get it into shape. I will be reading from bits of paper and crossing things out.
Having written eleven shows on specific themes, I am now keen on telling you a story I have written about a man I made up called CAN. At one point in his life CAN was the world’s number one motivational speaker… and then something happened.
“A genuine original.”
