WOS TV: Meet the team behind Cartoon de Salvo’s Irish Giant
Theatre company Cartoon de Salvo are celebrating their 15th anniversary this year with a new production, The Irish Giant, which runs at Southwark Playhouse until 9 June 2012.
The show is based on the story of Charles Byrne, Georgian London’s biggest star, an eight-foot tall Irishman whose body is coveted by visionary anatomist John Hunter, a man obsessed with life, death and abnormal bodies. The Irish Giant explores the ethics of who owns our bodies, who should – and what life, if any, awaits us after death?
Here, in an exclusive video for Whatsonstage.com, members of Cartoon de Salvo tell us more about it.
