Trouble Inn Paradise

A story of love, deception and vermin, played in one-act. This 2015-2017 touring production visited schools throughout the UK and played at the Shoebox Theatre, Swindon; Stroud Fringe Festival and Cheltenham Pate’s Theatre Festival. Our inspiration for this devised show was Fawlty Towers and Goldoni’s A Servant of Two Masters. Much of the show was improvised live, with several set lazzi and routines. Seven Commedia characters, and a rodent, played in fast succession by three actors - and several rats. 

 
We couldn’t stop laughing! Brilliant fun for all the family
