Synopsis: | Captain Amazing is an alcoholic superhero with a penchant for open mike spots. Refusing to lie low and fit in with the rest of the population, he vents his disdain for the human race whilst entertaining and appalling audiences with tales of his day-to-day life as a reluctant and misanthropic superhero. As the night wears on and Captain Amazing becomes more drunk and more open, we discover his origins, his family life, and how even the invincible arent immune to tragedy. Using a blend of stand-up comedy and storytelling, Alistair McDowells Captain Amazing is the second of Live Theatre and The Empty Spaces bursary winners. | |||||
