Heads Up: Frank’s Story
Join us for the premiere of Head’s Up: Frank’s Story by DreamArts Rep Company
For 17-year-old Frank and his big brother Gabriel, a writer, life on their quiet Island home is quiet—until the day Gabriel vanishes, leaving only a note and a hard drive. His message is clear: Frank must deliver it to a publisher in London. But as Frank sets off on his journey, joined by his best friend Mickey and an unforgettable cast of characters, everything he thought he knew begins to unravel. Frank must overcome his fears, take his place in the world and keep his head up!
Told through an electrifying mix of theatre, film, beatbox, and rap, Head’s Up: Frank’s Story is a bold coming-of-age adventure performed by a talented cast of young artists from refugee backgrounds. Expect comedy, courage, and a thrilling ride to The Island in this unforgettable new show.
