Everything was perfect in the midnight garden. The flowers grew the fairies flew the grobbity grobbits danced a merry dance in the twinkly moonlight. Then one day without warning the deranged gardener from next door threw the shed door wide and let loose the massive-evil pitchfork-of-doom!
PIXIEMATOSIS is a happy/sad tale of tiny extraordinary creatures living in a nocturnal paradise who realise far too late that they are being exploited for a distinctly sinister purpose.
Featuring sqwonky puppets odd-automata and a slew of charity-shop rejects PIXIEMATOSIS is not unlike watching a lost episode of Bagpuss filmed by the Tales of the Unexpected crew… or witnessing Fingermouse being folded up and used to stop a pub table wobbling.
Come along be charmed be appalled; get swept up in the existential madness of it all Plus Meet the puppets on stage after the performance!
