booking details

They're back! Book early to avoid disappointment and to get best seats! Brighton-based Spymonkey presents its two acclaimed physical comedy classics, Stiff and Cooped, in a one-off double-bill. Grieve with great tragedian Forbes Murdston in Stiff, as he tries to bury his dear departed wife in fitting style. Feel for rich, beautiful, fawn-like and swinging Laura du Lay, orphan heroine of Cooped, as she arrives for her first day of work at the Cornish mansion of her mysterious new employer. Will she find love or is it too.......late? Somewhere between Daphne du Maurier and Edgar Allen Poe, Spymonkey's world throbs with melodrama, shlock-horror and jolly good acting. Both shows are devised and scripted by the company together with director Cal McCrystal. Cal McCrystal is also Director of Clowns for Cirque du Soleil.

'Dead funny..this is a tragical tale and you'll weep, but only with laughter'.
The Guardian (Stiff)

'I laughed so much my throat hurt.' The Times (Cooped)
