thick_skin by Connor Rowlett & Ben Borthwick
thick_skin is a live and multimedia performance about the inarticulacy of male friendship and the intolerable pressures of living as a performer. This 10-minute excerpt from the piece gets to the heart of the play’s central question: how can two men have so much to say to their audiences, but so little to say to each other?
