THIS PRODUCTION HAS BEEN RETIRED<\/strong><\/div>\n

Darrel is a simply simple middle-aged man who lives with his mother. When she dies in her sleep, Darrel does not realise she is gone, and so, for ten days, he lives alone.\u00a0 Tandem to Darrel\u2019s day to day routine are the adventures of his favorite children\u2019s book characters, Honeydog and Little Burp.\u00a0 Their search for a home leads the dog and duck duo to an understanding of family, while Darrel\u2019s ease in the world illustrates just how his mother has paved the path for him to be without her.\u00a0 Episodes from the past, like faded colour snapshots from a family album, illustrate this mother\u2019s love for her son in all its honesty and fierce, unwavering will.\u00a0 Simple, tender, funny and unapologetic, 10 Days On Earth<\/strong> asks: If you were alone, but didn\u2019t know it, would you feel lonely?<\/p>\n

10 Days on Earth<\/strong> is a co-production with BITE (London, UK); CanStage (Toronto, Canada); queerupnorth (Manchester, UK); and Wiener Festwochen (Vienna, Austria).<\/p>\n<\/div>

\u201cThe result is both desolate and warmly sentimental, as if a Samuel Beckett<\/a> play about the loneliness of existence had been bashed over the head by The Wizard of Oz and Mother Goose. Burkett, who in the past has often shared the stage with his creations, here takes a more traditional puppet master stance.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201c10 Days On Earth is Heavenly. Every show of Burkett’s I see just reaffirms my assertion that I will never miss one of his shows. And neither should you.\u201d<\/p>\n
