"A living testimony to the timeless power of stories" Nathan Rodney-Jones - TheatreFest Review
*****
"The show you'll wish you'd written" Gill Nathanson - TheatreFest Review
Mark has always been fascinated by stories, reading them, watching them and telling them, he always thought that stories could change the world.
He thought it would be a good thing.
When does a lie become a fantasy? And what happens when you can’t tell the difference? Through interweaving narratives, Mark explores how stories have changed us, how we change them, and how they may change us in the future, now media is apparently able to write itself.
What if all the technology we use to write and communicate was built using the writings of some of the worst people imaginable? How would that change the stories we tell?
What is The Corpus?
To find out, join the White Hippos as they return to Barnstaple for their 15th Fringe TheatreFest, with a story that has been twenty years in the making, a true story about the beginning, the middle and the end.
