The show is a series of monologues and musical theatre songs in a cabaret style that is at times comedic and entertaining but also challenging and touching.
Grant Tyler Peterson is an American performer and academic. He grew up in southern California where he became an award-winning performer in theatre and musical theatre. Several years ago, he moved to the UK to earn a PhD in Theatre Studies, but was soon diagnosed with a rare cancer, adult rhabdomyosarcoma, that spread from a walnut-sized tumour under his brain to 10 tumours in his lungs. A few hours after being told he had a metastatic cancer few adults survive, Grant stepped onto the stage of Theatre Royal Bath to perform in a Gilbert and Sullivan show. In the spirit of ‘the show must go on’, and to celebrate beating incredible odds, Cancerous.biz is a show Grant promised himself he would perform once he completed his PhD. He’s grateful to be able to return to perform in the city where he thought he had possibly taken his final bow.
