CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A real-life silent movie with falling buildings, dare-devil escapology, slap-stick humour and live piano accompaniment. Inspired by Buster Keaton’s short film Convict 13, this action-packed silent comedy show has been enjoyed throughout Europe by young and old alike. (50 mins, no interval, 6 on the road, including 2 children, suitable for indoor or outdoor performance.)

A very British comedy stilt walkabout with three 10 ft tall “bobbies-on-the-beat”. These affable, old-fashioned bobbies are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Performed throughout UK, Europe, and Hong Kong. (2 x 45 mins walkabout shows, 5 on the road, including 2 children.)

FUTURE PRODUCTION
An hour long, non-verbal show, with an original musical score, set in and around a dilapidated railway station in the age of steam locomotives. It follows a day in the life of the station master, and the antics of his staff as they deal with various crisis situations. (60 mins, no interval, non-verbal, 6 on the road, including 2 children, suitable for indoor or outdoor performance.)

WRAP-AROUND
Post-performance discussions and seminars on street theatre relevant to both productions. These can be targeted at all age ranges, professional or amateur. Children’s workshops with a focus on acrobatics and physical theatre are also available.
