about the production
Dario Fo's one-man masterpiece gets a timely re-staging in this physical tour de- force packing in over a hundred characters and taking a hilarious and controversial view of the Bible's best known stories. As topical and explosive as it was when Fo first performed it, this new restaging of Mistero Buffo is a daring and timely reminder that sometimes we need to pay attention to the smallest voice and not the most powerful. Following the sold out successes of TESTOSTERONE, Hardboiled and 64 Squares, New Diorama Associate Ensemble Rhum and Clay return with this hilarious adaptation of a European classic. Performed
about the artist
Rhum and Clay Theatre Company is an ensemble that shares stories in mischievous and surprising ways: original shows that are inventive, ramshackle and cinematic. They formed the company at l’Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris, where they learnt their craft. They would also spend long hours into the night drinking rhum and making masks out of clay. It was these happy memories that inspired the name under which the company perform. Alongside creating theatre productions, they collaborate with young people and the next generation of theatre makers through their popular workshop programme Rhum and Clay are an associate ensemble of New Diorama Theatre
