This listing is from a previous year. Search for current listings.
The Times top ten literary star and Time Out Award-winner combines animation with poetic lyricism in his 'thoughtful, articulate and very funny' (Evening Standard) true-story battle against self-fulfilling prophecy. Ross tells of his transformation from tabloid hack to timeline altering saboteur. A journey through memory and multimedia, using some of the cheapest and least reliable forms of time travel.

If beauty be truth and truth beauty then Ross Sutherland is Pacman.
