A curse causes Nathan to skip a year and a day into the future, whenever he falls asleep, only existing for 24 hours, once a year before being thrown forward in time. Leaving behind a botched heist, his wife, his struggling family and a jaded criminal gang, Nathan must learn to save his loved ones in his new ever-changing existence.
Spanning 65 years, A Year and a Day is a bold and poignant exploration of a man trying to right his wrongs as he rapidly skips through time.
A Year and a Day is told entirely through dialogue and mime, with no props. Under the careful direction of dramaturg Rosanna Mallinson, award-winning Christopher Sainton-Clark uses multiple voices to tell a beautiful story of love, loss, betrayal and crime.
A Year and a Day is sure to keep you on the edge of your seat throughout this twisting, turning journey.
