World Premiere April 4th 2026 at Slung Low, Holbeck, Leeds

​

The Tower and the Telescope (OP4)

 

Enter a hand-cranked clanking puppet world stuffed with darkly relatable characters and hilariously dingy surprises - It's a show for people who like their theatre 'funny ha ha' and ‘funny distinctly unpleasant’

​

Every evening a keen eyed astronomer scans the universe, desperately seeking answers to the ineffable questions of life. Next door, a frustrated cook is caught up in a life or death struggle with the sandwich filling of the damned...

​​​

.And look! Speeding round the corner, here comes the tawdry-bread delivery driver - who is a little too much in love with the cook.

​​

Yes their lives are a total mess but something out there is watching over them; something huge and warm and fuzzy almost like happiness… except with massive bone crushing arms.
