Geppetto

Synopsis:
In New Yorks lower east side, in the middle of the 1950s, a teenage girl answers a hastily scrawled, grubby advert on a whim. It invites her to audition for the role of puppeteer in a forthcoming production of Pinocchio. But when she enters the shabby flat where the audition is being held, nothing is quite as she was expecting. Least of all the fact that the odd, foreign-accented, ill-at-ease man she finds there calls himself Geppetto (the name of Pinocchios Father in the original story). Unwittingly she sets off on a bewildering journey through descending layers of deception and dysfunction, a journey which in its own, bizarre, horrific, comic way, leads them both to the gates of hell. Using two performers, combining cubes trademark electric dialogue with mesmerizing puppetry, Geppetto is a heart-rending, but often hilarious story of a broken mans obsessive search for his own puppet-boy, and how the chance pairing of this odd couple offers them both a glimpse of something lost and something to be yet found.

Synopsis:
Rosa, 15, naive, privately educated, has lost her mother. Her father has lost his house and business. Leaving behind a life of ease, they find themselves in cheap, rented accommodation with a reclusive new neighbour - Candy, 30s, webcamming in her bedroom: £3.50 a minute, 20 punters a night. . .Unexpected life lessons are about to be learnt. Streaming is a three-handed, rites-of-passage dissection of contemporary life using knifesharp, witty dialogue, evocative sound design, moments of fleeting, macabre puppetry, and a shape-shifting set, where walls become veils and the private becomes public.
