Callum's Will
Callum's Will
The show is written and directed by award-winning Durban actress, Janna Ramos-Violante and stars Darren King and Clinton Small.
Set in London's early nineties, the two characters come from completely different backgrounds. Callum, played by Darren King, is a cultured man in his mid-forties, an ex-ballet dancer whose career was cut short by a tragic accident which has left him in a wheelchair. Disconnected from his friends and previous life he is unable to cope and is forced to seek assistance in the unlikely form of Will - a boy in his mid-twenties from the wrong side of the tracks, played by Clinton Small. He is the result of growing up in mass unemployment and a country of state benefits. Surrounded by friends who have accepted their lot in life, Will however is not bereft of hope and dreams, something his eccentric, late mother left as a seed and is about to germinate.
The beautiful and intimate story of Callum's Will takes the audience on an almost filmic experience as the unlikely relationship of the two male characters evolves from an awkward first encounter to a deep and lasting friendship, which neither expects or understands. Sometimes in life, friendships choose us.
"People enter our lives for the wrong reasons but at exactly the right moment to save us from ourselves."
The story takes the audience on a journey of laughter and sometimes tears but is essentially full of hope as it offers a quiet window into the tiny intricacies of human behaviour and interaction which we never really get the opportunity to observe.
