4 performers stand on a brightly lit stage with shimmering red angel hair streamers behind them. On the far left the man wears a grey suit with moustaches on and holds a blue bucket . Next to him a performer in a silver sequined waistcoat and tuille white skirt with silver leggings underneath holds a microphone and a green bucket. The third performer in line wears a white and black vertical striped suit, has blue hair and holds a microphone and purple bucket. On the far right the performer wears a sky blue suit with clouds on and holds a blue bucket.
Harry Elletson

‘These four performers are some of the bravest, boldest, most candid and risk-taking on the contemporary London theatre scene.’
