More than 50 years after they were founded in a Soho basement, the UK’s longest-running alternative theatre company, People Show, bring their latest devised piece to London. What can you expect from? Check out production photos and show trailer for a taster – and then get booking!
People Show 137: God Knows How Many runs at London’s Southwark Playhouse for a limited season from 5 to 29 February 2020, with a press night on 7 February. It then tours to Bristol, Lancaster and Yorkshire.
From the troubadours of the Parisian boulevards of yesteryear to today’s global corporate domination, People Show 137: God Knows How Many, will take you precisely nowhere. But on the way, you will laugh, possibly cry, and feel a sense of what it is we might be doing here.
Emil Wolk, George Khan, Mark Long – People Show stalwarts – and Bill Palmer of Avanti Display, come together for a new show. Years of tumbling, verbal and musical gymnastics are taken to the next dimension. A darker dimension where the momentary nature of life is confronted and challenged. The production has special effects by Dr Dave Southall and Bill Palmer of Avanti Display.
