What If They Ate The Baby
There are three rules every housewife knows: never return a dish empty, always have dinner ready by the time he gets home, and some things are best kept under the table. After all, you never know who’s listening.
You’ve heard whispers of absent husbands? Missing children? Spaghetti recipes? Or was it scones? You just can’t trust everything you hear through the walls these days.
A queer clown reimagining of the 1950s American housewife through the lens of paranoia, surveillance, and bodily autonomy.
‘Highly intelligent, yet wildly entertaining.‘
‘An absurdist masterpiece… unmissable.’
‘Deliciously off-kilter energy.’
A Letter To Lyndon B Johnson or God: Whoever Reads This First
Boyhood is all about spit-shakes, rope swings, and playing soldiers, but only the good guys of course. Whether it’s stories around the campfire, pranks on their superior, or a prayer to their favorite president, these two scouts just want their moms to see the big strong men they’ve become.
An absurdist two-hander that blurs the lines of 1960s American Boy Scouts and drafted US Soldiers in Vietnam using clowning, physical theatre, and storytelling.
‘Explosive.‘
‘A tightly woven masterpiece.‘
‘Brilliantly choreographed, whip-smart and yet heart-breaking.‘
