Does technology really bring us closer together? At fourteen Claire met best friend, Andrew. They bonded over The Simpsons, Mario Kart and Marlboro Reds. Before long they were inseparable. As is so often the case with childhood friends, their lives took different directions and they eventually drifted apart. It's been six years since they last saw each other...

Rémy is French, lives in a prison cell, and isn’t quite sure how old he is. He’s good at gardening and once tried to somersault off the back of a galloping horse. Best of all, Rémy tells stories; stories of foolish kings and tiny emperors, bouncing bullets and shapeshifting circus girls. Anything can happen in a war, after all. Don’t believe him? You will.   Created and Performed by Claire Gaydon.  Produced by Caitln Agnew. Design by Laura de Vos. Rémy premiered at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2012 before transferring in December 2012 to Arcola Theatre, London and in February 2013 to Lincoln Drill Hall.
