If the Two Ronnies were cast as the Gravediggers in Shakespeare’s Hamlet re-written by Samuel Beckett you might have something like Ridiculusmus’s Alas! Poor Yorick. The legendary independent theatre double act of Jon Haynes and David Woods pull out every trick in their theatrical playbook to create a fresh take on Shakespeare’s much-loved clowns, re-enacting all the preceding acts of the original and meticulously staging the famous graveyard scene in all its 420 year-old glory. Flipping the Shakespearean original tragedy into an existential clown piece, Ridiculusmus cast aside chaos and mistaken murders to unearth a beautiful and oddly moving meditation on work, faith and existence, with the prevaricating protagonist offered in a refreshingly contemporary light. Ridiculusmus is a multi-award winning theatre company that has been producing seriously funny theatre since 1992. Their co-artistic directors, David Woods and Jon Haynes have established the company as a flagship UK performance group touring nationally and internationally with works passionately wrought from minimal resources that achieve the aim of being both serious and funny. The company has created over 25 original theatre productions and is regularly commissioned by venues including the Barbican, National Theatre, Royal Court, Soho Theatre, BAC and Arts House, Melbourne.

Documented tales of monsters, possession and the living dead. In late 2019 Robert Lloyd Parry inherited the contents of a flat belonging to a dead man that he’d never met. The property was full boxes, which were themselves stuffed with chilling documents: letters, diaries, newspaper cuttings, notebooks, postcards... Filed in disarray, they all told impossible tales of terror. He’d like to share some of these with you now, in this gripping new storytelling show. Come and hear what lies within the archive of dread... Robert Lloyd Parry of Nunkie Theatre is a performance storyteller specialising in supernatural literature and science fiction. He is best known for his shows based on the ghost stories of M R James.
