Kepow – ‘On the Edge’ in Dorset

0
47

Essentially a comedy with touching scenarios, ‘On the Edge!’ explores those moments in life when we are just that – on the edge. From falling in love and leaving home, to getting a job and bungee jumping, this fast moving show explores it all!

Formed in 1991, Kepow are now considered one of Europe’s leading improvisation and mask-based theatre companies. Over the past 21 years they have produced 25 shows and have, in the process, won a “clutch of awards” (Independent on Sunday). Regularly touring around the world, members of the company have also worked with some of Britain’s leading theatres and theatre companies, including the National Theatre, the Royal Court Theatre and Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre.

Using a clever combination of sketches, monologues, puppetry and masks, Kepow create funny and poignant scenes in this show, which has successfully toured across the UK and around the world. Their first Artsreach tour with ‘The Seven Ages of Man’ was such a hit that Kepow now return to Dorset with ‘On the Edge’, a show packed full of improvised theatre at its very best.

“Hilarious…a show that can be funny one minute and poigniant the next….Tomlinson has a sharp mind and undoubted talent”.The Scotsman

“A master of the potentially tricky art of solo improvised comedy…with a personality as engaging as his, you’ll be queing up to indulge him.” The Stage
