"My dad is a superhero. No one else knows 'cos it has to stay a
secret."Alistair McDowall's play is a funny and poignant one-man
show that thrusts us into the life of Britain's only part-time
superhero. Struggling to balance his family responsibilities and
more conventional job with defeating super-villains and rescuing
families from burning buildings, Captain Amazing represents how all
parents strive to be heroes in the eyes of their children. Discover
this man's origins, his family life, and how even the invincible
aren't immune to tragedy."Captain Amazing" received its world
premiere at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013, starring Mark
Weinman, and directed by Clive Judd. It was revived for a national
tour from March 2014.'" He] is the kind of man you wouldn't look
twice at in the street: balding; stooped; tentative. He's skating
over the surface of life, marking time with his job at B&Q,
barely acquiring possessions, not speaking to his alcoholic father.
And then he meets a woman who does look twice at him; who gives
birth to their daughter, Emily, and suddenly Emily is convinced
that her beloved father is a superhero."' Daily Telegraph
