Stamp
by Spun Glass Theatretheatre
Hosted by the love-child of Sandi Toksvig and Frank N. Furter, STAMP is a cheeky, extreme and challenging gameshow where you make the rules.
about the production
An interactive cabaret experience for the naughty child in everyone. Audience teams compete in our theatre game show which plays with gender stereotypes, revealing the darker power behind everyday objects and assumptions. The company weave storytelling through a highly interactive and fun audience experience. Helen White plays the charismatic host - yielding Barbie dolls and cans of beer to memorable, atmospheric sound design by composer Laura Bowler. Two team leaders keep the audience teams involved and comfortable whilst they push the boundaries of audience participation and share personal stories about masculinity and femininity. A transformative experience shaped by the audience.

We embrace the challenge of taking risks, forging forwards to make new artistic discoveries with bold performer-led ensembles.

"STAMP is an incredible piece full of fun that will leave you laughing and smiling until your cheeks ache. Get ready to shout, woop and cheer on your team and forget about the fact you may not actually be a man/woman. I recommend anyone that can make it goes to this show, I cannot remember the last time I laughed so hard"
"a rare gem"
“STAMP is a ridiculous, riotous ripping up of the rule book for examining gender binaries. Someone should really tell them that shows seeking to question the nature of men and women and then educate us on our own social constructs need to be a lot angrier, more self-satisfied and duller. This is none of that.”
As it is improvised there is a challenge with audio description and signing but we have spoken to a couple of interpreters who would be interested in the challenge!
