This independent Brisbane-based kids’ theatre company brings a Tony Hart-meets-Marcel Marceau approach to children’s entertainment. Or as they put it, ‘Mr Bean meets the Mona Lisa’.  Things get messy in their comedy art lesson with felt tips, clowning, slapstick, mime and lots of slapping paint onto easels. Dressed in black and white stripes with painted-on red noses and tiny moustaches, one performer (don’t be fooled by the posters with a duo, they take turns on different days) larks about every morning for their junior audiences and grown-up companions. 

Brymore Productions teamed up previously with the National Museum Of Scotland to present The Bureau Of Untold Stories at Edinburgh’s Museum Of Childhood, using storytelling and improvisation in a noir-style interactive tale about detectives. Then the pandemic hit. After a struggle to stay afloat, and help from a crowdfunder to cover those whopper flights from Australia, they’re back with a brand-new show, and hoping to win over more fans with this inventive, silly hour of art-inspired fun. If you can’t wait until then, they also have downloadable art supplies and DIY theme-night kits on their website.
