Beast, The

Synopsis:
The Beast is a poignant and playful tale accompanied by a live musical soundscape. An enchanting one man show about a creature that lives in a cave on the outskirts of town. Entwining songs from a ukulele and loop pedal, this uplifting tale will touch your heart and then tickle it (in a non-life-threatening way).

Before Us

Synopsis:
The story of a creature, the last of an undiscovered species, facing extinction. Featuring an abnormally exuberant combo of live music, storytelling and dangerously impressive body movements. This is a raucous, surreal, experimental melan-comedy about death, family and loneliness.

Dr Brown Brown Brown Brown Brown and His Singing Tiger

Synopsis:
Absurd, weird and wonderful, this surreal visual comedy with live musical narration has kids storming the stage to help the hapless doctor and his singing side-kick. Join Dr Brown and his friend the Singing Tiger on an absurd adventure from breakfast to bedtime. Unpredictable, original, fresh, fun and vibrant, Dr Brown serves up unique impishness, good old slapstick, silly noises, physical flights of fancy and enough pineapple for the whole family. Join Dr Brown in a tennis match, a sing-along and a slightly spectacular BMX finale. This is all-ages physical comedy at its best. Families beware: you might laugh so hard you hiccup a helicopter!

Lounge Room Confabulators, The

Synopsis:
Enjoy critically acclaimed, multi award winning Australian theatre in the saccharine surrounds of your London living room, parlour, patio or pantry (we might not all fit in your pantry, it would need to be quite big for a pantry. Chances are your pantry wont be the best place to be honest. But maybe?).

She Was Probably Not a Robot

Synopsis:
She Was Probably Not A Robot is a lo-fi, DIY, off-beat, sci-fi, storytelling experience; a surreal, soulful comedy about a decomposing world and a cosmic visitor. When the world ends in flood and fire, one man, asleep on his air-mattress, floats out of his bedroom window, through burning debris and out to sea to be the sole survivor and last hope for humanity. This is an enchanting tale adorned with simple storytelling and physical comedy. Stuart' s smartly crafted writing, combined with his joyful performance makes for an uplifting tale of loneliness, grief, hope and silliness.
