Expect witty songs, exhilarating storylines and hilarious yet powerful scenes. The show starts by taking locations, characters, genres and overarching themes from the audience. The improvisers then weave this information into one cohesive, side-splitting and compelling piece of theatre. Which is all shaped by a live director who calls scenes and ties together the narrative strands. Guest live directors included: Dylan Emery, Sean McCann and Adam Meggido, founding members of Ken Campbell’s School of Night.
