Devil And Mister Punch, The

Synopsis:
Witness a tragic comedy of manslaughter and love. It's Punch and Judy but as presented by Messrs Harvey and Hovey, a pair of broken vaudevillians who are now in the gutter and have been reduced to presenting a puppet show that goes wildly off-course. Featuring a lush score of bass fiddle, gin parlour piano, metronome and bells, this dark but hilarious show is performed on a gloriously theatrical wood-panelled set. Inside this shadowy world live a steaming crocodile, a parade of piggies, the devil and many other extraordinary characters.

Notes:
Devised by Julian Crouch, Rob Thirtle, Nick Haverson, John Foti, Saskia Lane, Jessica Scott And Seamus Maynard, text by Nick Haverson, Julian Crouch And Rob Thirtle

Shockheaded Peter

Synopsis:
Some background: Shockheaded Peter is inspired by the Struwwelpeter, a collection of short stories written by a German doctor named Heinrich Hoffman in 1844 to amuse his young son. Dr. Hoffman's sense of what would tickle a child's fancy is rather different than, say, Dr. Seuss's: the stories are outlandishly nasty and gruesome: unsettling little fables in which children who do not do what they are told meet frightening, violent deaths.

Notes:

Spirit

Synopsis:
Three performers play three brothers who break bread together and wait for their story to begin. The performers wait too. And when did a story not happen to three brothers? Spirit takes you to a Improbable world of ugly improvisation, headless puppets, fractured storytelling and visual imagery to find out what happens to three brothers, who are in a simple story that gets complicated when things don't turn out the way they should. If drama is conflict, is conflict still drama when the performers don't agree? That is really don't agree.
