Up Down Big Man&nbsp;A Myrtle Theatre Company and Wiltshire Creative production in association with The Wardrobe Ensemble&nbsp;Devised and written by Nathan Bessell, Tom Brennan, Tom England, Heather Williams and Helena Seneca&nbsp;Set and costume design by Sam Wilde&nbsp;Lighting design by Michael Straun&nbsp;Music by Alex Heane&nbsp;Research partners: Keynsham and District Mencap and The Bessell family There comes a time in every young man&rsquo;s life when he has to leave home. For Matty, it&rsquo;s forty! He really is a big man. But with his mother gone - and his Dad moving on, what&rsquo;s next for Matty? He needs support, but what is the best form of care for him? How can he be independent and safe?&nbsp;And as he leaves the sanctuary of his house for the final time, is there space in the boxes for his most treasured possession?&nbsp; Following the critical success of Up Down Boy (2012) and Up Down Man (2016) this standalone production is the third in a trilogy of plays inspired by the life story of the gifted and charismatic performer Nathan Bessell. In Up Down Big Man Nathan returns to play Matty in a play full of wit, anarchy and heart. These dates are subsidised performances especially for Keynsham and District Mencap members, family and friends.&nbsp; Age Guidance: 12+
