‘SUPERSONIC MAN’ is a joyous and moving new musical set amidst the LGBTQI+ community of Brighton.  Adam is a fun-loving ‘influencer' having the time of his life. But he is struck down with a terminal condition and faces losing everything: including the love of his life – Darryl.

But Adam and Darryl vow that this will not be the end. Instead they seek a completely new beginning and explore new ways to live. Adam will become a human cyborg!

This musical show combines jazz hands with high drama to tell a tale inspired by the true-life story of Peter Scott-Morgan, as depicted in the Channel Four documentary: 'PETER - THE HUMAN CYBORG'.
