First performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2013, this moving and humorous play looks at how one man strives to be a ‘superhero’ in the eyes of his daughter to break free from the responsibility and challenges of everyday life.
Directed by Caroline Wilkes, Captain Amazing is performed by Michael Hugo as an hour-long intimate script-in-hand reading in the New Vic auditorium.
