Boorish Trumpson is your rehearsal conductor. Just for rehearsal. No other ambitions. None. Nope.

An interactive, music and clowning-filled satire of power from critically acclaimed Lecoq-trained clown Claire Parry.

‘Mesmerising’
★★★★★ Express

With clowning games, audience interaction and unexpected orchestral manipulations, Boorish Trumpson will stop at nothing to gain ultimate control over the orchestra

A unique sound-design, virtuosic physicality and script constructed from quotes and tweets of Trump and Johnson creates a raucous humour whilst the bigger questions bubble below: in our world of troubled politics, how complicit are we in enabling such figures to rise to the top?

An interactive, music and clowning-filled satire of power and those who wield it from critically acclaimed Lecoq-trained clown Claire Parry.

Make it a big night out!
Do a Soho Rising double bill with Yael Elisheva at 8:30pm.
