THE Last Baguette theatre company is bringing its riotous and ridiculous outdoor family theatre show "Pandora’s Box" to venues in and around Devon this summer, with Crediton included in the list.
Written by "Sunday Times" award-winning playwright Tiff Woodsmith, "Pandora’s Box" is a gallop through Greek mythology featuring goofy gods, hilarious heroines and daft deities.
Expect a plethora of costume changes, a pantheon of Gods and a prohibited peek into a pithos as The Last Baguette retell the preposterous and problematic story of Pandora.
Take a blanket and some cushions and enjoy some high quality silliness.
It is a show for anyone aged six to 126 who’s ever asked why.
The Last Baguette make entertaining, accessible and eccentric work for family audiences, and are company-in-residence at Pound Arts, Corsham.
The company was formed from a shared love of theatre, bakery and humour in Paris by graduates of the Philippe Gaulier and Jacques Lecoq schools in 2010.
The company tours to festivals, arts centres and theatres throughout the UK, and has performed in France, Switzerland and Canada.
“We make visual theatre, and believe in the power of fast paced physical comedy and silliness to talk about important issues of our times,” says Sidney Robb, producer.
So join the Baguettes as they lift the lid on this classic myth with physical comedy, visual storytelling, live music, un-Apollo-getically bad puns and lo-fi special effects.
★★★★ “Funny, Charming and thought-provoking” CreativeReviewsUK on “The Bird Show”.
“The energy and commitment of the company is infectious...this is unique small scale theatre with a great heart” Theatre Bath on “The Little Match Girl”.
