ARTISTIC POLICY
Peepolykus (pronounced ‘people-like-us’) creates devised comic theatre and has rapidly established an international reputation for making people laugh. The company’s work combines anarchic verbal comedy with slapstick and sublimely ridiculous clowning. It is physically strong, visually inventive and suitable for all ages. Its shows are highly entertaining and accessible and some can be performed in Spanish if required.

REVIEW EXTRACTS

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Hound of the Baskervilles A terrifying and comic adaptation of the classic Sherlock Holmes story. This production has been written by Steve Canny (Complicite) and Peepolykus and is a co-production with West Yorkshire Playhouse and Sam Mendes’ Neal Street Productions. It is directed by Orla O’Loughlan (Royal Court) and designed by Ti Green (National Theatre) for middle-scale touring. (120 mins including interval, 3 on stage, 7 on road)

All In The Timing Written by award-winning American writer David Ives, whose one-act comedies present a world where chimps attempt to write Shakespeare, new languages are made-up on the spot, faux-pas can be edited from conversations and Trotsky can live out multiple versions of his last day. Expect the unexpected! (80 mins, 3 on stage, 4 on the road)

Let The Donkey Go Reconstruction of the Rajmanistan Secret Service’s most celebrated case to date... Slapstick, songs, astounding dexterity with digestive biscuits... and absolutely no donkey! Award-winning show that has toured to over 20 countries since 1996. (75 mins, 3 on stage, 4 on the road)
