Written By Matthew Sharpe and created in collaboration with Tinderbox Theatre Company and presented as part of the Cathedral Quarter Arts Festival.
Meet Marcus, raised in Northern Ireland with mixed-race heritage.
Marcus has always gone along with society's stereotypes to fit in - from posing as a rap superstar to flexing his muscles as a gym bro, he's tried them all. But when an audition makes him question his true self, Marcus faces the ultimate dilemma: Who is he, really?
Join Marcus on his FUNNY and PROVOCATIVE escapade as he embarks on a quest of self-discovery, unravelling the layers of societal expectations to uncover the truth buried deep within himself.
I’VE ALWAYS LIKED THE NAME MARCUS is a unique but universal tale of personal identity and cultural diversity amidst our rapidly changing world.
