A collaboration between Danny Braverman and Nick Philippou
"A small gem." –The Times "One of the best shows I've seen." –The Guardian
For more than fifty years—from the 1920s to the 80s—Eastward End shoemaker Ab Solomons drew a picture for his wife, Celie, on the little chocolate-brown envelope in which he was given his weekly wages. Sweet and ofttimes self-deprecating, these wage-packet drawings relate Ab and Celie'due south family unit life through its everyday ups and downs. From falling in love to quarrels about fish balls, audiences are taken on a funny and moving journeying against the backdrop of a changing metropolis and turbulent times.
In 2007, writer and performer Danny Braverman discovered the lost art of his great uncle Ab in a shoebox blimp with thousands of wage packets. Together with director Nick Phillippou, Braverman brings the Solomons' story to life on stage in a captivating performance that will resonate with audiences of all ages.
"A modest bear witness…about big things: the connections that bind united states of america together through the generations, the unknowability of the past and what goes on in other people's marriages, the way that the hidden histories and everyday lives of ordinary people are equally important as the narratives you find in the newspapers or history books." —The Guardian
