A mighty spirit is about to reawaken. Yours. Derek Jarman: film-maker, painter, gardener at Prospect Cottage, gay rights activist, writerhis influence remains as strong as it was on the day AIDS killed him in 1994. But his story, one of the most extraordinary lives ever lived, has never been told. Until now. This vibrant solo play from Mark Farrelly brings Derek back into being for a passionate, daring reminder of the courage it takes to truly live while youre alive. A journey from Dungeness to deepest, brightest Soho and into the heart of one of our most iconoclastic artists. Jarmans works include taboo-breaking films like Sebastiane, Jubilee and Caravaggio, pop videos for the Pet Shop Boys (Its A Sin and Rent), his extraordinary borderless garden in Dungeness, his shocking last paintings, and his unforgettable final film Blue, consisting of a single continuous frame of blue and chronicling what its like to lose your sightbut never your artistic vision
