Genre: | Christmas Extravaganza Show | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 3 | Female | 1 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | The first show of its kind at the Nathismus, it broke the ground for all the performance work that has happened there since. It was the first show for younger audiences that Peter Godfrey wrote for the company, and was Andy Wilson's first directing job. | |||||
Synopsis: | Professor Knott-Batty's lecture on the Neanderthal man found frozen in an alpine glacier comes to a shocking halt when he clumsily sends 50,000 volts through the tank containing the body, causing it to climb out and run amok in the auditorium, to the delight of the capacity audiences. Not your usual pantomime, the show was commissioned by the Natural History Museum as a Christmas Family Entertainment to accompany the exhibition on Neanderthal man. It ran to capacity audiences for five weeks. | |||||

Genre: | Christmas Extravaganza Show | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 4 | Female | 2 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | Rational Theatre's use of technical trickery was stretched by the task of making the audience feel the roof come off and the auditorium picked up and shaken. The second and last Rational Show at the Nathismus; the oppressive regime of the warders, who were still at that time a police force in their own right and who (for example) forbade eating during rehearsals, let alone smoking (1981, come on) made it an unattractive venue. Nevertheless, the show sold out, and times were, eventually, to change. Again, script by Peter Godfrey, direction by Andy Wilson. | |||||
Synopsis: | The annual Christmas Panto Mother Goose - is disrupted when an egg is discovered embedded in the set a very large egg that has crashed through the roof of the auditorium sometime during the previous night. When it hatches, and it's angry parent tears the roof off the museum to get it back, the Natual History Museum staff have to do some quick talking to save the earth from destruction. | |||||

Genre: | Comedy | |||||
| Parts: | Male | 4 | Female | 1 | ||
Parts other: | - | |||||
Notes: | Advised by his Zen Master to look into the western tradition for source material, Peter Godfrey found koans a-plenty in the most unlikely places. Based on the works of such disparate writers as Robert Anton Wilson and Anthony Hope, and the bar-room philosophy of his favourite uncle, this was the first Rational Theatre show and broke away from the Phantom Captain style of the seventies. | |||||
Synopsis: | A British tourist to Ruritania is mistaken for the crown prince, and finds himself a prisoner of a tradition that regards appearance as all-important and disappearance as natural. Meanwhile, his double seeks to liberate himself from the dungeons of the arch villain by meditation techniques. An arty farce, The Prisoner of Zen catapulted Brian Lipson to frame. | |||||
