The Terrible Infants

Simply stunning! Suspend reality and enter a world of tall tales and cleverly created characters. There is Tilly, the little girl who cannot tell the truth. As her story unfolds, we meet a series of puppet characters the gluttonous Tum, who eats his mum; Thingummyboy, who no-one can remember; Linena, a material girl and the smelly Manky Mingus.

The flawless presentation of the stories is colourful and imaginative yet the stories themselves are infused with a dark, yet playful, humour. The blend of beautiful language, original music and physical theatre works in such a natural way.

This is a show that will absorb both children and adults. Although it draws upon traditional theatrical forms, in its storytelling it is modern theatre at its very best.
