Famous Puppet Death Scenes
Preview Wednesday 18 Jan 7.30pm has been cancelled because of bad weather conditions, if you have booked we will be in contact with you. Performance Thursday 19 Jan 7.30pm is still going ahead.
Behold! The eternal masterwork of puppetry for adults! Willingly undergo a heart-wrenching parade of theatrical demises that will severely exacerbate your fear of death!
All your favourite scenes are there: "Edward's Last Prance" from The Ballad of Edward Grue by Samuel Groanswallow, "The Feverish Heart" by Nordo Frot, "I Hate My Little Brother" by Sally and the unforgettable "Bipsy's Mistake" from Bipsy and Mumu Go to the Zoo by Fun Freddy!
It's a horrible thing to experience. You should go do something more cheerful. You only have so much time left.
For ages 12+.
WARNING: Famous Puppet Death Scenes contains stage fog, strobe lighting, abrupt noises, unnecessary cruelty to inanimate objects, and hot, hot puppet nudity. Not recommended for the emotionally fragile. Please weep uncontrollably only into the buckets provided.
Only darkness awaits.
