Grown Ups

4+

Duration

60'

Grown-ups work. And children play. Or they go to school. Or they sleep. And when they sleep, grown-ups have to continue working. In the living room. On their computers. Once they’ve cleaned up the kitchen.   

Yet what do grown-ups really do? When the children are at school, what do grown-ups do all day long? Do they put the world to rights? Do they have a nap? Or do they mess things up? Do those grown-ups really have everything under control? Do they really clear up the mess all the time which others have left behind? Or is it up to the children to clear up everything later?   

Who really cleans up whose junk?   

Blending clowning, slapstick and gentle Chekhovian humour, this entertaining show is aimed at children. However, this 
very silly, surreal, comedic style of theatre would equally appeal to the Grown-Ups. You will laugh your socks off – pure 
magic. 

The EdinburghGuide ★★★★★

This surreal misadventure offers an endlessly entertaining experience which posits two philosophical questions: Is 
anyone really an adult?… And what precisely is theatre? 

The Quinntessential Review ★★★★
