Mimic

T01290599166
Performed at a grand piano, Mimic is a dark satire exploring imitation, authenticity, and what happens to a nation that leaves its heritage behind. Poetic and prescient, this virtuosic solo performance from Raymond Scannell (Infinite Lives), tells the story of Julian Neary, whose childhood gift for mimicry - from Columbo and Jimmy Stewart to Billie Holiday and Morrissey - becomes his ticket out of 1980s Ireland, until the chaos he sees in the outside world reflects his own chaos within. Winner of Best Male Performer at the Dublin Fringe Festival 2008 and 2013, Ray Scannell takes the audience on a moving and mesmerising journey.
