Whatever Happened To That Guy?

Down-on-her-luck author, Bee Leigh, is attempting to pull off the greatest literary hoax of the century: a fake autobiography of famous celebrity recluse, Guy Wesley, who hasn't been seen publicly in 18 years. From secret rendezvous in the Bahamas to sketchy Swiss bank accounts, as this story spirals out of control, even those closest to it can’t recognise the truth from the hoax.

Inspired by the Howard Hughes-Clifford Irving affair, Whatever Happened To That Guy? is about fabrication, celebrity and how we never let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Futures Festival is a Pay What You Can Event, with 100% of the box office going directly towards supporting the artists and the work you see on stage. We invite you to consider what you might typically spend on a show, and choose the highest tier you feel comfortable with - every pound helps us champion new voices and bold ideas.

Each year Pleasance commits to supporting six London based theatre makers/writers for a two year residency as our Associate Artists, providing them with the transformative tools to take their work and craft to the next level. We asked them to curate a festival based around themes of their choosing. Futures Festival is the result!

Futures Festival showcases developing productions from leading independent performance makers and companies.

This show is part of Week 2, The Future Is Fabricated presented by Maybe You Like It .

A week of performance exploring invention, deception, and the art of spinning a good yarn. These works ask why we lie, what makes us believe, and who gets hurt when truth is bent, blurred, or broken.
