BLIND Summit Theatre introduces Central Studio audience members to virtuosic puppetry improvisation in the form of Moses in Central Studio this week.
Moses is a stand-up-comedian-puppet-philosopher who might never come to the point, but he certainly gets to the heart of the matter. The Table will be at the theatre, which is on the QMC campus, on Saturday March 1 at 7.30pm.
Moses is a cantankerous 2 foot high puppet, with a cardboard head, who lives on a table. And he's got a problem. All he ever gets asked to perform is fairy tales or children's birthday parties, and he's fed up with it. He's an artist! He's a serious puppet!
So tonight, for one show only, the table is his and he is going to perform an epic story. The final 12 hours of the life of Moses, in real time, on his table.
Unique and very funny, this is improvised puppetry like you have never seen before. Our table-top philosopher explains the nature of puppetry, has disagreements with his puppeteers, shows off his dancing skills, examines the bible and has an unfortunate mishap with an invisible running machine.
Along the way he gains a theatre full of fans who then watch his painful attempts to rescue his show from chaos.
This is award-winning, epic puppetry inspired by Beckett, the Bible and Ikea.
Tickets priced £12 full, £10 concessions, £8 students and children, are available from centralstudio.co.uk or by calling the box office on 01256 418318.
