Complete Commedia’s "Nitwits"

thumbnail_IMG_7902.jpg

Inspired by the antics of Laural and Hardy, The Marx Brothers, Mr Bean and Commedia dell'arte, Nitwits is an unashamedly lighthearted celebration of physical, slapstick and knockabout comedy.  The story of two comical characters who meet, greet, argue and ultimately reunite over a newspaper, celebrates visual comedy. After this 30 minute performance, the audience are invited to try the slapstick and masks, encouraged to create their own narrative.
