Piece of Work

Songs of the Heart Trilogy:

Thu 9 – Sat 11 Oct

About Piece of Work

James has been touring his storytelling theatre shows for half his adult life. This year was different though. Returning home after his first stint away, he received a letter that exploded his life, and the tour became a search: for the person who sent it, for a sense of home, and to maybe save a life.

Featuring James’s captivating mix of storytelling and comedy (as well as Shakespeare’s Hamlet) this remarkable road trip follows his critically acclaimed run at Edinburgh Festival, the sell-out show Learning to Fly and The Songs of Friendship Trilogy.

Hilarious and heartbreaking, this remarkable road trip will delight and surprise.

After another sold out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2024, James Rowland is performing his critically acclaimed Songs of the Heart Trilogy in The Nest, catch them all from 8 - 11 October.
