Three stories of imagination run wild.

Stunning the Punters (and Other Stories) is one man on a bare stage giving a bravura high-energy performance in three tales of imagination run wild: Master of Café Society by Steven Berkoff; Stunning the Punters by Robert Sproat and Dillon’s own adaptation of The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

An out-of-work actor's frustration explodes over breakfast in Steven Berkoff's Master of Cafe Society, a racist ex-skinhead tells a tale with a ghostly twist and kicks at society's indifference in Robert Sproat's Stunning the Punters, and a would-be suicide has a vision of a lost paradise in Dillon's own adaptation of The Dream of a Ridiculous Man by Fyodor Dostoevsky, an ever-relevant parable of man's inhumanity with a small seed of hope.
