THE COLLAPSIBLE MAN

Gerard Van Dyck's hugely popular show.

The collapsible man has got something to show and tell. Clumsy, frail, isolated in his own tiny world, moulded by the pressures of modern life, he is losing grasp of humanity's meaning.

Van Dyck plays a whimsical, vaudevillian character, living out of a portable, intricately constructed box. There is a gentle grace to this character, as if he might have been a renowned academic if he could only stop the impossibility of his own eccentricities.
