Wizard
Dominic Berry
Synopsis
Following a full capacity debut at Contact Theatre, Dominic Berry returns as Wizard, one man struggling to fit in. In a unique world born of Dungeons & Dragons, Japanese RPGs and Greek myths, this heartfelt, honest collection mixes a poetry-spouting kettle, hilarious spell-casting dish rack and the true horror of a broken mental health system.
With b&w thumbnail illustrations by Brink.
Reviews
"Really very inspiring. I love the seriousness and the humour" - Benjamin Zephaniah, Poet & Activist
"Emotive, intelligent and raw. He meshes the theatre and literature world to produce something quite delicious and totally engaging" - Gwen Oakden, City Life
"Dominic is an exceptional force in the poetry and spoken word scene in the North West. I am always impressed by his desire and determination to push beyond his comfort zone and write work that will challenge himself and his audience" - John McGrath, Artistic Director of National Theatre Wales
"Truly beautiful work, a deep understanding of mythic and magical themes" - Wendy Rule, Singer / Songwriter
"Shakesqueer" - Lynnee Breedlove, Trans Punk Vanguard
"I was taken by his energy, charm and, poetic prowess. Dominic is a committed and passionate artist who not only shines individually but is an advocate for other poets. As an individual Dominic's poetry is at once poignant, personal, profound, and humorous. He is a talented performer who brings a dynamic physicality and theatricality to the realm of poetry" - Baba Israel, Artistic Director, Contact
