On the 8th July this year, the leaders of the eight most powerful countries in the world met for three days in the earthquake ravaged Italian town of L’Aquila in Italy to make plans for the future of our society and our planet.

On  27th June, I hitched a lift from Glasgow, alone, to be there too.

Featuring music from experimental pop duo Over The Wall, Hitch is an intimate storytelling performance which recounts the experience of this journey, asking questions about the meaning and purpose of political protest, the limits of personal power and the possibility of change.

Developed with the support of The Arches and PlaY.

"He’s affable, engaging and spins a good yarn. But you could say he goes the extra mile, involving nicely integrated video footage and in true road movie fashion, enjoying a soundtrack, by live duo Over the Wall, that played in a fine sense of the shifting moods and growing determination that took Hurley to the ultimate camraderie he finds in reaching L’Aquila."
