"Art is a cupboard! We are not cakes!" Kharms
Award winning Clout Theatre invite you to dive head first into the absurd world of the Russian poet, iconoclast and false moustache wearer Daniil Kharms.
Three bouffonesque characters intent on telling ‘The Old Woman’ story let narrative escape them as comic vignettes, metaphysical ponderings and bouts of senseless violence provide constant distraction. Expressionist silent film meets grotesque slapstick in a world where clocks have no hands and a cucumber can kill a man.

‘An hour of sheer pleasure’ The Scotsman ★★★★

‘Few groups do absurdism with the wit and flair of Clout’ The Herald  ★★★★

‘Mash-up mayhem’ The Stage

How a Man Crumbled won the Audience Award at Physical Fest in 2012; during the same year, Clout Theatre were nominated for a Total Theatre Award in the Best Emerging Company category.

Tickets £12/£8 conc.
