"I want to run for my life
but my heart-beat impales me,
nails me to the spot,
there’s no getting away now.
I wish to God I was invisible.”
Two men. One woman. Treacherously connected, yet, forever alone. It's a play about love, torment, memories and loss. They are suspended in a timeless place with only their memories for company. Should we ever have to ask for love? Poetic, rhythmic and highly nuanced, a 'trio' for voices.
Originally produced by award-winning Cork-based Corcadorca Theatre Company in Ireland in 2013, The Tallest Man in the World is a play about an unspeakable love, almighty difference and the torment of memory. The Tallest Man in the World was a finalist in the prestigious USA Eugene O’ Neill National Playwright’s Conference
