FLIGHT: One Man’s Journey
Pricking Thumbs Theatre / Naz Sheikh
FLIGHT is a powerful 55-minute one-man show that brings 21 vivid characters to life through storytelling, physicality and voice. Written by Martin Lytton and directed by Jacquie Crago, the piece unfolds as a rapid-fire journey through memory, movement and transformation.
Performed by Naz Sheikh, the show shifts between intimate moments and bold, fully realised characters, using minimal staging and direct audience address to create a strong connection with the audience. Each transformation is precise and immediate, revealing how identity is shaped, challenged and reclaimed.
At its heart, FLIGHT explores themes of belonging, displacement and the search for self. The narrative is rich with imagery and momentum, inviting audiences into a world that is both personal and universal. Like all living theatre, the production continues to evolve through performance and response.
Compelling, fast-paced and emotionally resonant, FLIGHT is ideal for audiences who enjoy solo performance, contemporary storytelling and theatre that asks urgent questions about who we are and where we belong.
