This is a photo-rendered image of a homeless man, sleeping by his side on a pile of digitally rendered green money notes, lying upon a grey pavement. Above him is a solar eclipse that casts a beam of refracted light cast upon him. The man has a balding forehead and a long greying black beard that blends with the hair on the sides of his head. He is dressed in a sleeveless white top and grey trousers.

The Live Performance of an 8 Episode Audio Production - part Live Audio Play, part staged theatre. Performed in the round. Guaranteed to surprise.

What happens to our creative ideas if we abandon them? Do they come to life as other expressions? "My Brilliant Apocalypse Part I: The Return of Barry Brilliant" explores this as well as themes of how and why we are inspired to create.

An Author reflects on his unfinished work - his Magnum Opus. The story of his alter-ego: Sir Barry Brilliant. One day, the Author and his son happen upon the character living on the streets, far from home. Could it really be Sir Barry?

They take him in as he slowly starts to piece together how he ended up going from the World’s Wealthiest man to homeless.

The question then presents itself: how does Barry get back to where he belongs?

When the rubber hits the road, or Barry’s head does in this case, it’s The Immovable Object Vs. The Unstoppable Force. In a battle between the Mental Health System and a Man with an Iron Will - can there really be a winner?

Will Barry ever get back to where he belongs?
