Hurry up and wait PM

Hurry up and wait

This event is now in the past.

A holiday performance suitable for ages 3 - 10

A couple of clowns have rushed to town to see the grand circus parade!

They find the best spot, right next to the big red clock, the parade will arrive at three o'clock on the dot! They sit, they wait, they get bored, they get hungry ... until their imaginations take over and waiting becomes a game! They dine on food that appears out of thin air, use simple items to create amazing new worlds and discover an entire universe inside a hat!

Hurry up and wait is a unique blend of Buster Keaton and Samuel Beckett, loaded with exquisite physical comedy. This clown duo (Liz Skitch and Clint Bolster) provoke extreme emotional highs and lows as their interminable wait unfolds.

Performance will take place on Mon 24 - Wed 26 Jun at 10.30am–11.30am and 1pm–2pm.
After the show, join in the free imagination and play workshop at 2.15pm.
