The UK’s comic genius and master storyteller returns to Sydney Opera House with a new theatrical work of love, heart-ache and a forsaken flat.

‘Last September I had to move out of my flat after living there for almost six years. I didn’t want to. I lived alone. I am single. 66a Church Road was the longest relationship of my life. This is a break up show. For my flat.’ Daniel Kitson, May 2008

Images of crumbling beauty emerge from time beaten suitcases, as Kitson brings to life a funny and sad and truly nostalgic story about the ache for home.

‘On the surface, this is a play about Daniel Kitson and his flat. But at its heart, it's about the relationship between a good man in search of a kindly and fulfilling life, and a society that often seems to have lost all sense of beauty, humanity, craftsmanship, quality and love. And when that theme fires his writing with the fierce, lyrical anger that is Kitson's hallmark, what emerges not only makes us laugh; but also speaks for the part of all of us that struggles to stay human in a harshly commercialised world.’ The Scotsman

‘It is poetry shot through with laughter and pathos, a heartfelt reflection on what we mean by home….as good as anything Kitson has done.’ The Times
