Synopsis: The Duke by Shôn Dale-Jones is a poignant one-man show blending personal family history and global crisis. When his mother accidentally breaks a valuable porcelain figure—once bought by his father as an investment—Dale-Jones reflects on value, sacrifice, and responsibility. Set against the backdrop of the refugee crisis, the play subtly urges audiences to reconsider what truly matters. Performed for free, with donations to Save the Children, it challenges conventional ideas of worth and theatre’s role in society.
