“The Shy Manifesto is a remarkably confident, dexterous, one man show centred around Callum, a deeply introverted but fiercely intelligent teenager. Through compelling storytelling and dynamic language, we are drawn into seeing the world through Callum’s unique lens. At times enthralling, at others laced with regretful sadness, it is an invigorating, profound and singular piece of theatre.” – Charley
