what is it?
In simpler words, 'One-Man Theatrics' is a performance of a fictional narrative, interwoven with different songs. The whole performance follows a single story – the journey of a guy, through his life. The rise and fall. The ebb and flow. While the verbal narration of the story provides the details and the background, the songs help to understand the incidents more clearly.
