The King of Broken Things

The King of Broken Things

Date: 2022-10-28

The King of Broken Things - a whimsical, profound and poignant one hander by Theatresmiths' Michael Taylor Broderick, featuring Cara Roberts (as a young boy) opens the brand new Bridge Theatre in Durban North, situated at the Northlands Primary School campus, on Friday 4 November for a six performance run until Saturday 12 November.

The Bridge Theatre is a quaint 100 seater raked theatre, which the principal and school board have earmarked to be developed into a professional venue to hire - particularly for spoken word theatre; live original music; cabarets; recitals and comedy. This production marks the "soft" launch of the venue, which over the next few months will be further upgraded and enhanced.

The idea is for The Bridge to build a theatre going audience particularly in the Durban North area, but also to provide an opportunity for learners to get first-hand experience of live arts, by becoming involved in the productions being staged there.

The King of Broken Things has just returned from The Golden Dolphin International Puppet Festival, 2022 - which is held every three years in Bulgaria to popularise the achievement of Bulgarian puppet art and to showcase puppet art shows from around the globe. The King of Broken Things was the only South African production invited to the festival.

The King of Broken Things is produced by Theatresmiths which is founded by Michael Taylor Broderick. It is a group of like­minded theatre practitioners intent on changing the world through the magic of theatre.
