BULLY
Written and performed by: Richard Fry
One day you wake to find that you’ve become your dad... and all you once dreaded now stares back at you... and the cycle of violence continues...
A taste for malice haunts the males of his bloodline vampirically passing from grandfather to father to first born son with the exactitude of clockwork. But, as the timid younger brother, spanning his life from tragic childhood to tainted adulthood, Fry charts the inner afflictions of a well meaning soul who tries to break the cycle by becoming a sufferer... rather than the bully.
With no resources other than his own sharp tongue to convey a deeply moving and edifying study of the human condition, this sincere, eloquent rendering of a timeless theme is reminiscent of Greek tragedy in all its sturdiness and spoken in dextrous verse. You will admire its art, its wit and verbal dexterity, and thrill at the frequently vulgar, slang-addled story. A sell-out sensation at the 2008 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Bully is a mesmerising experience and a powerful monologue.
”Let Richard Fry take you in and you will feel the tears rolling down your cheeks within no time.” Three Weeks * * * *
