Clunk
"Laugh out-loud funny, bizarre and beautiful"
Rachael Treacher - Unity Theatre
Clunk is an absurd and refreshing comedy touring to studio theatres in March and April 2010. Details of tour dates and additional activities can be found at the bottom of this page.
Two women and an incoherent male live together but can't quite work out why. The radio is broken, another mysterious relative has died and there's a parcel on the step. It's like this every day.
But last night I dreamt of George again...
Conjuring an evocative world of mutinous rag-toys, domestic wormholes and poignant forgotten dreams, Clunk is a darkly rebellious feast of unhinged humour, charming puppetry and existential angst.
Following a successful premiere in 2009, Clunk has been further developed by The Suitcase Ensemble with additional visual and puppet direction from Liz Walker of the world renowned surreal puppet company Faulty Optic.
Directed by Andrew Gledhill
Performed by Tessa Buddle, Christopher Murray and Clare Robinson
Puppet Direction by Liz Walker
Original Music and Sound Design by Sam Yates
Lighting Design by Mary Cummings
