FRINGE ARTS present PUBLICK TRANSPORT "20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE OFFICE" Thursday 22nd MAY The Coach House Theatre - (Next to Malvern Theatre Complex), Grange Rd, Malvern. 8pm - £8 Booking advised: 01684 573948 20,000 Leagues Under the Office is a comedy about two office workers who find themselves stuck in a lift that is hurtling towards the centre of the earth. Aside from a series of frantic phone calls that only serve to reinforce their isolation, various coping mechanisms kick including the use of cliches, mind-over-matter, heroism, romance and ingenious bracing positions. However, all is not what it seems, and the characters, as well as the audience, soon find themselves sifting through many strata of deception - necessary by-products of situation that is both absurd and unstageable. What remains is a show about play - with time, space, genre, narrative, language, theatrical conventions and audiences' expectations. "astonishingly witty...with a series of brilliant visual gags, what-ifs, surreal tales and 30-second comedy skits. Tight, hilarious, and very English." - Venue "a brilliant reinvention of comedy" - ThreeWeeks "More fun than you would ever imagine an hour spent on the brink of death could be!" - The Big Issue "Entertainingly absurd" - The Scotsman "Exhilarating madcappery...Just the comedy ticket every festival needs." - Chichester Today "Wonderfully funny" - Bristol Evening Post |
