A laugh-out-loud one-man show that combines excellent execution with some highly imaginative and partly obscure content.

Flew the Coop has wings that, whilst slightly clipped, are strong enough to make it fly. (Unlike the chickens that weren't harmed during the making of this play.)

Where do we see ourselves a year from now? RedBellyBlack investigate the matter in a thought-provoking but scrappy verbatim piece.

Pros: A meticulously choreographed piece of art. Excellently executed and magically mesmerising. Cons: On paper, perhaps not everybody’s cup of tea. Approach with an open mind.
