Nick: an Accidental Hero
Belly laughs a'plenty, moments of true
beauty, Nick: An accidental Hero is the enormously affecting
and heartbreakingly honest story of New Zealand sportsman,
adrenalin junkie and all-round wildman Nick Chisolm. Nicks
life ground to a halt when he was struck by a major stroke
at the age of 27. He was left with a condition called
'locked in syndrome' - known to those who have experienced
it as 'pure hell'. Nicks unexpected recovery has baffled the
medical profession and the play explores his fierce
determination, the many characters that populate his life
and the unlikely road to true love. After sell out seasons,
awards and critical acclaim, Chapman Tripp winning actress
and creator Renee Lyons brings her solo show back for 2
nights only. An unstoppable tour de force of talent,
imagination and a testament to the strength of the human
spirit, Lyons has performed the show to critical acclaim
throughout New Zealand and Edinburgh. This fundraising event
is to now help her get the show to Australia!
