Ballistic @ The Kings Head Theatre

He tries his best with girls. He tries his best with mates. But for all his efforts, things just dont seem to be going right. So hes making a change. Somethings triggered him to stand up for himself and reassert his worth. They made him feel small but with just a few clicks he'll become the biggest thing on the internet. But does he have the balls to go through with it? Ballistic is a darkly-comic thriller that asks vital questions about the violent events that increasingly define our 21st century narrative. "Mark Conway gives an astounding performance. This truly is a wonderfully powerful show." ★★★★★ Broadway Baby "Ballistic is an inventive and elegant work of storytelling that offers an accomplished example of the power of theatre." ★★★★★ The Reviews Hub "This is a masterful piece of theatre the writing is clean and clever, the staging is resourcefully sparse and aesthetically beautiful, and even when you anticipate the ending, the impact is still like a punch to the stomach. Im not going to forget this play for a long time." ★★★★★ Stage Talk Magazine "Mixes humour and tragedy and kept the audience on the edge of their seats. Highly recommended." ★★★★ One4Review "Ballistic is a dark and thought-provoking show that leaves audiences questioning the cruelties of the modern world." ★★★★ EdFringe Reviews This is a blistering and important responseThe production is faultless A Feminists Guide to the Festival Ballistic is a clever, impressively acted and effectively designed one-man show A Younger Theatre Age guidance 16+ (strong language & mature themes) Running Time: 60 mins Directed by Anna Marsland & Alex Packer Performed by Mark Conway Produced by Euan Borland Designed by Frances Roughton Lighting Design by Peter Tomes
