"I liked nothing more than watching this six-foot-nine Australian man contort himsellf into a child, a louche motivational speaker and an asocial perfectionist." Plank Magazine, Vancouver.
FRESH from a celebrated Canadian Tour for an exclusive one-week Adelaide season comes a quirky, comical, heartfelt journey.
Meet Harry. He lives for routine. How will he cope when Mr. Herbert, screeching tyres and an overly positive personal coach intervene?
"You can't do that. That's not how you use LEGO"
Exquisite movement, quirky characters and one very tasty clock will make you laugh, squirm and cheer for Harry. Delight in this entertaining examination of one man's inability to deal with confrontation.
"Get your hands off me. I do not need embracing"
On this one day Harry is forced to face what he has avoided for so long, the child inside the man. When Harry Met Harry is a must see this summer, having been recently selected to tour FIVE more Canadian Festivals in 2011. From the performer/producer of the critically acclaimed 2008 Adelaide Fringe production "The Good Thief", by Irish playwright Conor McPherson.
"Girod captivates the audience..an excellent night out." Hayley Mayne, Australian Stage.
"The play is simplly brilliant". Examiner, Winnipeg
