THE QUEST: A FANTASY MUSICAL
new musical comedy set in the fantasy world of Elvenheart. Kick back as the Troll’s Trousers Tavern band whisk you off on an adventure with a ragtag fellowship, including an underachieving wizard, incompetent Elvish warriors and a ranger with a dark and silly secret. Will unlikely romance blossom? Why is the Orb so glow-y? And do any of our heroes actually know what they’re doing?
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS AS YOU LIKE IT, by William Shakespeare (by Joel Lipson)
Shakespearean disaster comedy: There could be no greater honour than premiering a lost work of Shakespeare at the Edinburgh Fringe. Great honours don't always go to the deserving, which explains why this motley crew are murdering the Bard's verse (and each other) in a rollicking disaster comedy straight out of 1614. It'll be alright on the night if the director can rediscover his marbles, the star remembers his pills, the cast can distinguish between prop and real swords, and the techie can stay firmly offstage!
THREE LAYERS OF META AND A TIME MACHINE (2016)
Two friends get together to write a comedy musical. While they bicker, their three heroes are getting lost across time and space, battling the forces of evil and tearing major holes in the space-time continuum. Will our heroes survive their journey? Will our writers survive each other? What on earth is happening to reality?.
SUPERFLUOUS (2014)
An action-packed superhero comedy, freshly minted from classic comics. Dastardly Professor Charm's seductive schemes for Anytown USA leave no one safe from his salacious shenanigans. But never fear - the mysterious Professor H is assembling a crack company of powerful, amazing and ... slightly deranged costumed crusaders to save the day. Will our heroes overcome dark pasts, professional rivalry and romantic entanglements to defeat this lascivious lawbreaker? Find out in this thrilling edition of Superfluous!
DEATH ACTUALLY: A NECROMANTIC COMEDY (2015)
Meet Jack: a mortician’s assistant fed up with life, and indeed death. Meet Belinda: she was mourning, but now she’s dead. Jack's thanking his lucky stars that the mysterious Countess, with oddly sharp teeth and a neck fixation, has offered necromantic assistance to bring Belinda back. But Belinda's found herself in the arms of some devilish competition, and who's to say she isn't happier down there? Turns out Hell isn’t empty, just full of hipsters, but the devils are up here inviting you to join in the fun with lethal puns and dead funny songs!
PIRACY! A COMEDY ON THE HIGH C's (2013)
Hoist the mainsails and prepare for a thoroughly ridiculous adventure. Blackbeard meets Blackadder with villainous accents, absurdly catchy songs, disguises, intrepid damsels, captains in distress... wait, is that right? The pirates are determined to defeat the stuffy Royal Navy, find the lost Infanta of Spain and buckle every swash in sight. Meanwhile, hapless Captain Trumpeter and his bold (if slightly soprano) first officer are far more concerned about a visiting admiral with a sex fixation and his beautiful daughter (with an admiral's daughter fixation). Oh well, splice the mainbrace!
