When life throws fun-loving Adam a terminal curveball, his answer: become a human cyborg. Jazz hands and high drama combine in Chris Burgess’ joyous new musical Supersonic Man, inspired by a true-life story, at Southwark Playhouse.
“What would you give for one more tomorrow?”
Fun-loving influencer Adam and the love of his life Darryl are having the time of their lives. They’re young, they’re thriving, they’re carefree. But life is about to throw them a curveball.
This joyous and moving new musical, set amidst the LGBTQI+ community of Brighton, asks how we find new ways to survive and love when faced with cataclysm.
Inspired by the true-life story of Peter Scott-Morgan, as depicted in the Channel Four documentary Peter – The Human Cyborg, Supersonic Man follows Adam’s mission to challenge a terminal diagnosis in the only way he can imagine – he’s going to become a human cyborg.
Dylan Aiello, James Lowrie, Jude St James, Dominic Sullivan and Mali Wen Davies (making her professional debut) star in this world premiere, written and directed by Chris Burgess.
Following the 7.30 performance on Saturday 12 April 2025, I’ll talk to cast and creatives of Supersonic Man. Any questions? Join us!
