Franklin the Turtle at The Tank

Brooklyn actor creates dark comedy solo show, Franklin the Turtle, about addiction recovery while partnering with End Overdose to bring harm reduction resources to audiences. And Hank from Breaking Bad is in it?!

If you’re looking for a fun theatre night out, Franklin the Turtle would be it.

1 actor. 8 characters. 1 turtle. Many drugs. It’s 90 minutes of pure chaos, dark humor, and even some burlesque too. After workshopping this in New York and London, The Tank will be the first production before Camden and Edinburgh Fringe 2027. It’s about a young ballerina trying to escape her family’s legacy of addiction at the cost of her turtle. Franklin the Turtle is a hilarious and heartbreaking one-woman show about addiction, loss, and the unexpected creatures that help us survive.
