Make no mistake, this is a play that knows the difference between a unicorn and a packet of Jaffa cakes. During the performance exciting new dimensions in theatre will be explored. Using their mouths, many performers will speak ‘words’ (a new dramatic technique) which will allow the audience to produce images in there very own minds.
Comedy songs. Some of the words emerging from the actors’ face-holes will be set to music. For the first time enjoy a pigeon doing a Woody Guthrie Impersonation, from the perspective of a camel.
Yes, that’s right folks. This play tackles important issues, such as ‘Would two-dimensional birds have to photosynthesise?’ What’s more it will get to the root causes of your fear of miniature goat fondue, and explain how your uncle can be made entirely of steam. This play contains your recommended daily allowance of whimsy. Combining influences, not only of televisual surrealists such as Vic and Bob, but by the ‘nonsense’ writing of Edward Lear and Lewis Carroll, this play can be enjoyed by all members of the family.
The play will include 6 actors who have met through the Stirling University Drama Society. They have all been involved in numerous productions, including two in April 2005 and April 2006 which were written and directed by Phil O’Shea, which were staged independently at an arts venue called the Tolbooth in Stirling, and which were a great success. The Play will be produced by Dave Cadwallader, whose past successes have included ‘Desmonde ‘Emaciated’ Mould’, and ‘Emaciated’ by Phil O’Shea, as well as a production of ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoos Nest’ staged at the Macrobert Arts Centre in Stirling. Catherine O’Shea who is on the Board of Directors of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society is the Company Manager of this production.
