At last, Forbes Murdston, the great tragedian, in creative paralysis for so many years, has a tragedy of his own from which to draw inspiration. But as he sets out to bury his dear departed wife in fitting style, nothing quite goes to plan. Directed by physical comedy specialist Cal McCrystal (Peepolykus, Boosh, Mel & Sue), Spymonkey's hilarious black farce won a Total Theatre award in Edinburgh and has achieved cult status with audiences all over the UK. Lashings of melodrama, Gothic shlock-horror, and painfully funny. Brighton-based, Spymonkey's performers come from Britain, Spain and Germany. They met whilst working with Swiss action-theatre Karl Kuhn's Gassenschau in Zurich in 1996
