27th - 31st March 7.45pm
Hot on the heels of their acclaimed version of Moby Dick comes an eagerly-awaited collaboration of artists at the very forefront of British theatre. Spymonkey’s hilariously anarchic physical comedy, and the playful storytelling of Kneehigh artistic director Emma Rice (The Red Shoes, Brief Encounter) and writing partner Carl Grose, combine to create an outrageous no-holds-barred subversion of the quintessential Greek tragedy - a tale of forbidden lust, accidental incest, violent murder and the ultimate dysfunctional family: a jealous father, a messed-up son, and one mother of a brilliant comedy.
“A masterclass in physical comedy by four of the greatest clowns currently working in Britain”
Time Out on Moby Dick
Inspired by Barbarella and a little bit of Bond, Spymonkey turn their unique brand of theatrical invention to this greatest of tragic tales, brought to life in typically sumptuous fashion by costume designer and long-standing collaborator Lucy Bradridge (Boosh, Cirque de Soleil), and set designer Michael Vale (RSC, National Theatre, ENO).
