A Grand Day Out
Ever wondered what would happen if you got your divorced parents back together again for one day? Benji is a “bitofalaugh,” “intriguing” and apparently “charismatic” (according to GOWD Founder, Riley). In this Auto-biographical performance Benji is pulling in all their family favours, tying up loose ends and really hoping Gran keeps picking up the phone. It’ll be just like the old days...Right? Somewhere between the warmth and comfort of yer Gran’s homemade soup and 'Marriage Story' (2019). Nostalgia’s a B*TCH!
...
The show is an exploration into family dynamics and growing up around divorce in a religious family.
This is a filmed performance and will be posted only on Benji's website for documentation purposes, and will be available for the public to view on the website.
