Not having seen Stomp I can't compare it with 'Pan Pa' Tim' but all the literature describe it as  "a Latin American Stomp the whole family will enjoy' and enjoy it I did.  Primate Theatrical Percussion from Venezuela present this show during which time anything on stage is used as a musical instrument including the actual not proverbial kitchen sink. We start in an office where papers, computers, desks, rubbish bins, staplers, pencils sharpeners and even the desks are used. Tim is sacked from his office job because of his music, we then follow him from job to job and even on the street where any object is used as a percussion instrument including the body.

Eight performers and a musician, sing, dance, juggle and make fabulous noises. This is a spectacular and slightly unusual show so see it if you can.
