The thrilling story of Glaswegian performance artist Stephen Skrynka and his lifelong obsession with the 'Wall of Death'. Determined to conquer the wall, Stephen endures a humiliating experience training with renowned wall rider Ken Fox, before discovering the story of Irishmen Michael Donohoe and Connie Kiernan.
In 1979, Connie and Michael had constructed a ramshackle ‘Wall of Death’ on their farm in rural Granard, inspiring the much-loved feature film Eat the Peach. Forty years on, Stephen appears in town and presents them with an audacious proposal: construct a new ‘Wall of Death’ with him and take it on tour.
Though the wall is painstakingly constructed, a massive argument between the trio brings the endeavour skidding to a halt. Devastated, Stephen returns to Glasgow. However, with a pandemic raging, Stephen somehow finds the heart to try one last time, and he begins to build his own wall from scratch. Show less
