Skipton International Puppet Festival: Coulrophobia

by Opposable Thumb Theatre

This event has passed

£12.50

Dik and Adam are Clowns! They couldn’t fight their way out of a paper bag, let alone a surreal cardboard world. Why are they there and what are they supposed to be doing? They know something sinister is afoot and they need to get out before it’s too late.
Join them on a ridiculous, anarchic, often hysterical and terrifying quest for freedom. An 80-minute show featuring slapstick, mime, puppetry and a LOT of cardboard.

“It’s impossible not to laugh. My cheeks ached
when I left the theatre!”
 Total Theatre

“Non-stop riot of a show… a complete pleasure to watch
as it moves seamlessly from the sinister to the touching,
to the outright hilarious.”
 Stage Talk Magazine

Coulrophobia is a co-production funded by Nordland Visual Theatre, Norway and the Arts Council of England
