Touring in 2018
Inflation 2018 We are pleased to be bringing back INFLATION in 2018 (but with a Brexit remix!) Our political landscape has possibly never been more ridiculous or unstable- so a fine time to get the bouncy castle out with a Brexit update, joining the dots from the banking crash, through Austerity to the Referendum. The show will relaunch at the Shop Front Festival in newly crowned UK Capital of Culture 2021 Coventry in March. Touring April 2018 onwards.

That Parking Show
New for 2018, touring from June onwards - THAT PARKING SHOW - we'll be using the metaphor of two couples battling over a parking space (withtwo real cars) to investigate division, anger and holding onto what you believe is yours. An absurd physical exploration of how conflict escalates in a highly playful, visual piece of clowning. Expect comedic, physical theatre, special effects and a pumping car radio soundtrack.
Boots On The GroundBOOTS ON THE GROUND (a collaboration with Salisbury Playhouse) is inspired by the 100-year anniversary of the Armistice in 2018 and notions of conscription, demobbing and peace. The show will involve audience members putting on a pair of military boots, wearing headphones and walking together through public space as they listen to a narrative inspired by interviews with serving and ex-military personnel. Touring September 2018 onwards.
Butterflies'Totally wonderful. Expressed exactly what my daughter has been feeling. Thank you' In September 2017 we were thrilled to collaborate again with Half Moon Theatre and create a Co-Production Butterflies for 3-9 year olds and are very pleased to announce the show will be tour in Autumn 2018!
