First London appearance by Germany's mask-theatre experts, Familie Floez, with their 2004 Edinburgh Fringe sell-out hit, Teatro Delusio.
On-stage at a great opera house the action throbs with grand passion, intrigue and derring-do. But in this delightful comedy the spotlight is firmly backstage, where, separated from the famous stars by nothing more than a scenery backdrop three tireless technicians live out their own theatrical dreams and dramas. With stunning masks, elaborate costumes and amazing quick-change artistry, three actors play twenty nine different characters and bring an entire theatre to life. Action-packed, magical and extremely entertaining.

Suitable for 8 years +

‘Some of the scenes, particularly a memorable ballet spoof, are so sparkling that the entire theatre shakes with laughter. The relationships between the stars of the stage and the team of technicians are perfectly observed...an imaginative, almost relentless merry-go-round of absolute escapism.’ THE INDEPENDENT

‘Charming, wistful and performed with flair and energy right down to the final curtain call.’ THE GUARDIAN

Runs approx 70 mins without interval
