SID
Sid was developed from a short monologue called Ode to Sid, and in August 2015 the 50 minute one-man show Sid embarked on a one week run at the Rabbit Hole Theatre, Hampstead as part of the Camden Fringe Festival.
It's the story of a young man at odds with the world around him, who finds solace in his imaginary friendship with long-dead bassist of the Sex Pistols, Sid Vicious.
It starred Dario Coates, who had previously played the same character in the shorter Ode to Sid at the One Festival earlier that year.
From a successful run at the Rabbit Hole, Sid packed it's bags and went on tour in Spring 2016 to the following venues:

During this time independent producer Andrea Leoncini of LWL Entertainments Ltd came on board and co-produced a three week run upstairs at the Arts Theatre, right in the heart of London's West End in Autumn 2016!
