A Real Man’s Guide to Sainthood features carnal characters, wild storytelling and insatiable performance. This feisty retelling of England’s Patron Saint George disembowels a national legend. Using old-school gadgetry to create a visually arresting set (bicycle pedaling to produce power and a dash of tomato ketchup) A Real Man’s Guide To Sainthood Is a richly-textured bite of Englishness.

Who is Saint George; what shapes his desires; and how does he come to define a nation? Follow George as he journeys from boy, to man, to courageous warrior in a tale that begins in the safety of a sleepy English town. Clawing at its walls, a beast threatens the norm. Townsfolk turn to drastic irreversible measures to preserve their way of life. Can the boyish hope of a nation save the day before he turns into a beast himself?

A brilliantly fun and good-natured exploration of modern manhood

The whole madcap experience is much like being caught in the hyperactive mind of a child during the depths of a sugar-fuelled bout of adventurous imagination

The British Theatre Guide

Undeniably potent

The Stage

The sucker punch of such a playfully well-honed delivery gives much food for thought in a piece of work that itself puts the boot into the man’s world it occupies.
