TEN years ago, a suited man washed up on Sheerness beach with no recollection of where he came from, how he got there and who he was. He could not speak. No one could recognise him. But he could play Tchaikovsky...
Inspired by these real-life events, The Piano Man comes to The Marlowe Studio, Canterbury, next month (May).
AllthePigs Theatre Company discover the story behind Andreas Grassl in this stylish, thought-provoking new play. Silent for four months, the world speculated his identity - from the doctors and mental health professionals who worked with him, to the press who vilified him as a fraud, and to the countless people worldwide who claimed to know him.
The play examines what makes up our identity as individuals, and what makes a man need to forget who he is.
The Piano Man is at The Marlowe Studio at 8pm on Thursday 7 May. Tickets, priced £12 (concessions available; booking fee applies) are from the Box Office on 01227 787787 or marlowetheatre.com.
