Whiplash by Scott Wings

You know this story like the back of your hand. It starts with a date and a Runaway Heart with a suitcase full of memories.

The latest tour de force from eclectic solo storyteller Scott Wings, Whiplash is an electric riot of words and physicality. Diving deep inside his own body, Scott chases his runaway Heart as it absconds with his fondest memories—all while avoiding the hypervigilant searching of his Brain. Along the way he meets younger versions of himself and juggles the desires and disruptions of all sorts of organs, trying not to let the whole thing collapse in a mess of blood, sweat and tears.

Whiplash digs into what makes a good man, a bad man, and a better man. It’s a heartfelt meditation on medication, lost love, memory, age, dating, hope/lessness. And it’s a stunning, sweat-soaked display of storytelling by one of Australia’s finest.
