The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent at HOME Manchester, Manchester 22 April — 5 May 2022 Tickets from £7.50 — Book now

Creatively unfulfilled and facing financial ruin, a fictionalised version of Nicolas Cage must accept a $1 million offer to attend the birthday of a dangerous superfan. Things take a wildly unexpected turn when Cage is recruited by a CIA operative and forced to live up to his own legend, channeling his most iconic and beloved on-screen characters in order to save himself and his loved ones. With a career built for this very moment, the seminal award-winning actor must take on the role of a lifetime: Nick Cage.
