All Wear Bowlers

Synopsis:
the absurdist tale of two silent film stars who fall off the screen and into a clown show. In trying to understand the situation, they just become more confused. Comedy, physical theatre, stage magic and vaudeville all combine in this Edinburgh hit; Samuel Beckett meets Rene Magritte meets Laurel and Hardy.

Elephant Room

Synopsis:
Combine the glory of a Styx reunion tour, with the transcendental power of a 200-year-old Zuni shaman and add a dash of trailer park ennui and you come close to describing the mystical pull of a trip to the elephant Room. From the uninhibited, "engaging" (Washington Post) absurdist performance duo Rainpan 43 and actor-magician Steve Cuiffo comes a new theatrical event. Filled with off-the-wall magic and sublime comedy, elephant Room examines the childlike wonder of three deluded illusionists who choose to live their off-center lives by sleight of hand.

Machines Machines Machines Machines Machines Machines Machines

Synopsis:
This absurdist play is the story of three paranoid xenophobes who go to such lengths to protect themselves from the outside world that they themselves become the object of suspicion. Central to the piece are the workings of extraordinarily complex Rube Goldberg-style machines that have been assembled to accomplish super menial tasks. With its players exercising maximum effort for minimum gain, machines machines machines machines machines machines machines employs a unique blend of clowning and engineering in a sendup of America's obsession with technology and security.
