STUCK

By Mike Kenny

Directed by Ruth Cooper

Some things we can change and some things we are stuck with whether we like it or not….

Imagine being stuck to someone else for a day.  Anywhere you go they have to go, you want to sit down and they want to stand up, they want to go to sleep and you want to party all night.  Imagine being stuck together for life.

STUCK is based on a true story of conjoined twins, Chang and Eng.  They were born in Siam in 1811 and died in America, sixty three years later still stuck together.  They each married and between them had 21 children.

Told by two actors (who can’t stand each other) and Mme Clementine Delait (a bearded lady) STUCK takes a playful look at Chang and Eng’s extraordinary lives.
