Bane 2

Synopsis

Bruce Bane returns to the stage in the sequel to last year’s ‘Bane’. Having narrowly evaded the clutches of Shelby Carpenter last time out, Bane is faced with an altogether different enemy. Join Bane as he journeys down dark alleys and along eerie sidewalks in this one-man film noir parody, "A virtuoso physical and comic performance by Joe Bone" (The Stage) with a live music soundtrack from Ben Roe, "Gives Ennio Morricone a run for his money" (Whatsonstage). 'Bane' won a Fringe Review Outstanding Theatre Award and was nominated by The Stage for Best Solo Performance 2009. Bane 2 was also a Fringe Guru Editors Pick at Brighton Fringe 2010.
