The Man Without A Past (2018)

"A simple story told beautifully...the characters live with you long after the lights come up" Exeunt Magazine

"Kaurismaki's mixture of absurdity and altruism feels even more nourishing in these troubled times." Ryan Gilbey, New Statesman

About the play

One minute you know who you are. The next minute your mind's a blank slate...

Featuring a soundtrack from songs of praise to sultry jazz, this part-melancholic love story, part-deliciously deadpan comedy takes you on one man's extraordinary journey from anonymity to unexpected salvation.
