Mid-scale family shows, street shows and walkabouts

This year Bash Street Theatre are offering one mid-scale touring show and an educational show, plus smaller street shows and walkabouts.

 

CLIFFHANGER! a real-life silent movie show

Back by popular demand, “Cliffhanger!” will once again be available for booking this year. It’s an hour-long, silent-movie style production that returns to the golden age of the silver screen. (Mouseover thumbnails for more images)

We follow the fortunes of an unlikely hero as he becomes innocently embroiled in a prison escape. This leads to a series of hair-raising escapades as our hero goes on the run from the villains and the law.

Inspired by Buster Keaton’s short film “Convict 13”, this action-packed family show features live piano accompaniment and death-defying stunts. It is packed full of laughs and action with Bash Street’s unique blend of silent comedy and slapstick humour!

Cliffhanger! won the Caixa Catalunya award for BEST STREET THEATRE SHOW at Fira de Teatre al Carrer at Tàrrega, Spain, September 2006.

 

The Ravioli Bros show

A unicycling street show. Three gangsters are on the run with a million pounds that they’ve inadvertently stolen from the Mafia… and they’ve got to get away fast! (Mouseover thumbnails for more images)

The Bash Street Bobbies stilt walkabout

These affable, stiltwalking, ‘Bobbies-on-the-beat’ are guaranteed to put a smile on your face. They will patrol your designated area, and are brilliant at directing the traffic – buses, cars, bicycles, pedestrians, pushchairs, shopping trolleys and toddlers.

They make an arresting sight handing out parking tickets and speeding fines to unsuspecting members of the public, and they have even been known to juggle and clean shop windows!(Mouseover thumbnails for more images)

“Your show has got better and better - it was great to see how many people there had obviously never ever seen any street theatre before and were mesmerised, especially at the live piano! Thanks” - Jeremy Shine, Manchester International Arts

“Your show was a fantastic finale to each day... the professionalism of your company was second to none... your interaction with the crowds was a joy to watch” Jon Hogan, Gloucester Children’s Festival

“Had the audience (young and old) hooked from the start. It was nice to see so many families enjoying themselves”– Liz Potter, Prime Time Events Ltd

“A spectacular show... hugely entertaining. As exhilarating and effervescent as it was ecological and enterprising”– The Cornishman

“With clowning and miming that would not have disgraced either Charlie Chaplin or Marcel Marceau, this was a truly international show”– South Wales Echo
