Mark Thomas

Award-winning comedian and activist Mark Thomas brings his 

new show Bravo Figaro to Swindon

 

Arts Centre

Old Town, Swindon

Tuesday 19 February 2013

 

After walking the wall in the West Bank, becoming Guinness World Record holder for political protests, and chasing arms dealers around the country, one of Britain’s most acclaimed comics and influential activists, Mark Thomas, turns his attention to matters closer to home with a show about his father in this award-winning, critically acclaimed show.

First commissioned by London’s prestigious Royal Opera House, Bravo Figaro is the true tale of Mark’s father, a self-employed builder with a passion for opera, his degenerative illness, progressive supranuclear palsy, and Mark’s attempt to put an opera on in a bungalow in Bournemouth.

It's about love, death, fathers and sons, and the search for peace in an imperfect world, with a few gags thrown in for luck.
