"Geoff Thompson's writing is raw, direct and uncompromising - Fragile is a perfect production."
- The Public Reviews
"No one can be trusted, even those that you love, especially those that you love."
'One' is a middle age man still trying to come to terms with his crippling insecurity, the residue of childhood sexual abuse at the hands of a trusted and idolised teacher. An articulate and well-read man, he has exhausted every form of religious and psycho-therapeutic healing.
None of it has worked.
It hasn't worked because he can't trust a should: 'my trust is a skeleton, my trust is dry bones, my trust is buried in that tent back in 1971'.
All he is left with is a reservoir of pain, a tape recorder and an empty room.
Over three acts 'One' confesses with brutal honesty and guilt, the rage and the deeply seated shame that has kept him locked inside a prison of flesh for three decades.
"Craig Conway (as One) is a revelation in this piece...There are no flaws in this production."
- What's On Stage
"Fragile is full-on, no holds barred, earth-shattering trauma from the opening scenes."
Coventry Telegraph
"Fragile is brutal, compelling often poetic journey of redemption."
