The Devil has Quentin’s Heart

Benji Reid brings to the stage an explosive production from Breaking Cycles. Riding on a roller coaster to redemption Benji performs a rich cocktail of guilt and fear, exploring the stark realism of substance abuse and fractured relationships.

The Devil Has Quentin’s Heart – that was the price Quentin paid for success. He had it all riding high as an ultra-successful trader on Wall Street but betrayed and framed for fraud he discovers life in the underbelly of New York as an alcoholic living on the streets. He sees that greed knows no limits and makes one last wager to save his soul. This is the story told on his last day, in his last hour, before Satan comes banging at the door.

The Devil Has Quentin’s Heart is a twisted, funky and perverse modern day tragedy that explodes the nature of performance, storytelling and dance.
