'Piece of Work' finds James between youth and old age; in between birth and death. Creating a new show while trying to understand what and where home really is. Using nothing but words, a few handmade maps and Shakespeare’s Hamlet, James paints a picture of our country in all of its beauty, pain, and kindness in a heart-rending hour of theatre.

James Rowland performs 'Learning to Fly' at the Shakespeare North Playhouse in Prescot on Friday 21st March, taking to the stage at 7pm.
