Britain's What's On Event Guide
Duck
Winner of the Charlie Hartill Fund 2024, and from award-winning playwright maatin and Fringe First award-winning director Imy Wyatt Corner (Passing, Park Theatre; Beasts (or why girls shouldn’t fear the dark), Omnibus Theatre, Zoo Playground), Duck is a one-man show about a teenage cricket star’s search for his place in an environment that doesn’t cater for difference.
Fifteen-year-old Ismail dreams of becoming the best cricketer in his elite school’s history - but the start of the season brings bad luck and poor form, leading to challenges both on and off the pitch. Set in 2005, amid the backdrop of the famous Ashes series and the 7/7 London bombings, Duck follows Ismail coming to terms with what it means to be Brown and Muslim over one fateful summer.
