A MAN WITH FIVE CHILDREN
By Nick Enright
Directed by Mackenzie Steele

All the world’s a stage…

Gerry is a documentary filmmaker who, one day each year, follows five children around with a camera. The results are shown annually on television. For the children who grow up under Gerry’s (and the
nation’s) watchful eyes, the experience creates its own dynamic. Are
the participants his subjects, his children or his creations? Spanning
more than twenty years, Enright’s play invites you into a world of
fractured celebrity and distorted vision.
