My one man show about how I stopped being a journalist and became a poet. Oh, and Pac-man’s in it.
Winner of Time Out Critic’s Choice Award 2010.
“Ross Sutherland brings together poetry, comedy and animation to tell the true-story of his search for the cheapest form of time-travel. An exploration of self-fulfilling prophesies, time capsules, and moving back in with your parents.”
“Thoughtful, articulate and very funny” – Evening Standard.
“Performance poetry is no longer the stuff of lank-haired new romantics breathing heavily into microphones. In the extraordinarily assured hands of Ross Sutherland, it has the verbal urgency of rap, the wry self mockery of stand-up and a linguistic inquistiveness all of its own” – Time Out
“Is this a performance poet with a comic’s stagecraft or a highly literate stand-up? Hopelessly in love with language in the same way Daniel Kitson and Stewart Lee are, Ross Sutherland’s one-man show is as slippery as an eel in its definition, and all the better for it.” – Brighton Argus
The Three Stigmata of Pacman completed a three-week London run at The Old Red Lion Theatre Islington in January 2010, picking up a clutch of critical plaudits and 5-star reviews, woop. It’s now set to transfer to the Edinburgh Fringe in August. More details to follow shortly.
