Confirmation
Winner of a Scotsman Fringe First Award 2014
If you pinned me against a wall and put a gun to my head, I’d probably admit to being a liberal. Actually if you pinned me against a wall and put a gun to my head,I’d probably admit to being whatever you wanted me to be. And of course, putting a gun to my head is exactly what I’d expect from someone likeyou.
Confirmation is a show about the gulf between beliefs that we can’t talk across.About our knee-jerk dismissal of the opposing viewpoint. About the echo chamberof agreement and validation we live in. About the way we choose only to see theevidence that proves we’re right.
A new solo show from a multi Fringe First winning written and performed by Chris Thorpe (Unlimited Theatre, Third Angel), developed with and directed by Rachel Chavkin (The TEAM).

That was a surprisingly fascinating play! This is a charming and gripping collection of a great many genres of text: the storytelling, absurd literature, TED-like talk and psychology experiment all combine to create a wonderful concoction about the (in-)flexibility of our thinking and how we might communicate with people holding radically different opinions.
