Falling To Earth, My Summer With Bowie

Verdant Productions presents FALLING TO EARTH: My Summer With Bowie
Written by Eugene O’Brien
Starring Stephen Jones
Directed by Jim Nolan

A thrilling new production from acclaimed playwright Eugene O’Brien, Falling To Earth: My Summer With Bowie is an evocative and deeply personal story of music, longing, and self-discovery. Brought to life by the powerhouse performance of Stephen Jones (Northern Lights, Into The Badlands, Red Rock, Love/Hate, Ripper Street), this gripping one-man show takes audiences on an unforgettable journey through a summer that changed everything.

About the Play:  Scut Kelly feels like an alien in his own hometown. Single, loveless, and caring for a father who had never shown him much care, his only solace comes from the music of Ziggy, The Thin White Duke, the man who fell to Earth with his Spiders from Mars. But now, fate is about to intervene.

In an extraordinary twist of events, Scut’s world collides with that of his idol, David Bowie. A once-in-a-lifetime encounter forces him to confront his dreams, his fears, and the painful reality of his past. Can he navigate this new planet of possibilities, or will he come crashing back to Earth?

Don’t miss this compelling production that captures the magic of music, the power of dreams, and the universal search for connection. Falling To Earth: My Summer With Bowie is an emotional, entertaining, and unmissable theatrical event.
