MY SON & HEIR | performance | 12th-13th July | Friday 8pm & Saturday 6pm | £7 by Search Party 

My Son & Heir is a rabbit-skinning, back-garden camping, plastic-gun wielding, towel-whipping, lager-drinking, Harley Davidson-buying reflection on how we raise boys. This relentless celebration of parenthood questions the responsibilities of parenting, shifting perceptions of love and what it means to be a man.
