“I don’t want to achieve immortality through my work. I want to achieve it through not dying.” Woody Allen Read more …
A frozen body found in a woodshed wreaks havoc in the local community, forcing them to confront questions of science, faith and immortality.
Inspired by an incredible true story, Fringe First award-winners Vox Motus present a pitch dark comedy featuring a host of eccentric characters, original live music and stunning design.
An over-the-top live-action cartoon that will do nearly anything to please.
The ensemble is splendid.
An absolute delight from start to finish.
There's plenty of wit and energy here.
The story...is not as rib-tickling this time.
Dead good.
Entertaining and empty...flashes brightly but fades fast.
It's abjectly without point or heart.
This show...is a real hoot.
In the end, the quite brilliantly clever set..., the riotous pace and the ingenious effects carry them through so that you stop worrying and just sit back and enjoy the ride.
Vox Motus consider their show to be “a quest for emotional truths, a sense of wonder and, ultimately, hope”. In truth, it doesn’t have the emotional depth to achieve those objectives. What it is, however, is a beautifully unusual piece of comic theatre.
Musical accompaniment that's frozen in time
Wacky musical comedy will tickle your funny bone
