The Comaback Kid

Lykos Theatre—Théâtre Cercle Molière

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down in this theatre. Is this a comedy that will split my sides with laughter? Or a soul-searching journey that tugs at the heartstrings? Psst: it’s the latter.

I would have called this journey “brave” but de Jong says it’s not, so I won’t.

Lykos Theatre
